Default Colour or B/W Portraits

Took these shots of my daughter Laura but can't decide which version works best.

Your daughter is beautiful and these are great shots. I like all the poses, but the 3rd one in BW is my favorite.

Default Lovely girl

What i see is B/W shot #2 with the (color) eyes of shot #1. and maybe just a slight touch of pink in the lips. Then soften the image just a bit. Yes I think that will do it.

You have a beautiful daughter! The B&W's work real well and so does the first color shot. There's something about the second color shot I'm not sure about. Maybe a bit too pink? All well done in any event. TFS.
