Red is also good, but b&w is more IMO

Eric,

I think that the second image is the best of the 3. In the black & white image you lose all the shadow detail below her waistline.

Keep up the great work. I'm a fan.

These are a lot more subdued than your usual work Eric. They are still good but not so eyecatching.

The bw is the best I think.

The color shots are overwhelmed by color to the point of the color being distracting - Do I look at the color or the content? Perhaps they would be better with less saturation?

I am a fan of the red as well. The skin tones look soo good and the lighting is spot on. I am envious super shots.

Hi Eric,

Beautiful model. Love the red hair and stunning face. I also like the other series you did with her (can't remember whether I commented or not). The B&W seems to lose punch and impact to me.

Eric, great series of shots again.

Somehow I love black and white version. Very classic feel and it seems like a photograph targeting on carefree sentiment with cigarette commercial or coffee bean advertising.

Your work is always inspiring to view

Though I'm 100% a B&W guy, I prefer the colour version. It pops and speaks more.

Interesting difference in opinions here - goes to show how photos can vary in appeal.
I too am of the mind that colour works better as it adds an extra dimension of attention and boldness, matching that of the subject. And the lighting is exquisite.

Well done and thanks for sharing. Another fan here.

Eric,

I still like the original version the best. It just "POPS" off the screen.
