Personally I like the BW version a bit better, the only thing that keeps me from really saying it stands out is I wish a bit of your neck or shirt would show up just to define an outline and keep it from looking like your head is just floating there. But it is a choice between two winners, so can't be a wrong answer.

The B&W is defiantly my favorite I like the way you cropped it better but that isn't the reason I like better, I prefer a good B&W to a color photograph most of the time. The only thing that I think would improve it would be larger catch light in the upper right eye. Keep up the good work!

Both pictures are exceptional. My only problem was with picture one, there does not appear to be any contrast between the head and the body. This makes the head look like it's floating. Of course this may only be a problem with my monitor. Does anyone else see this or should I get a new monitor?

That is some really great work. Eyes are better in the color version but I like the B&W image.

The black and white is so much more dramatic with its play of light and dark. Which is best depends upon what it is being used for. The b/w has more mystery to it as your face floats in the dark void. If you're more concerned about making the details of your face clear the color version does that nicely.

Personally I do not see anywhere to improve! I believe the paraphrase, “Beauty is in the eye of beholder!”
Personally, I see a stern solemn facial expression, but a hint of mischief in the eyes.

Wow! They are both really super. I agree with other that the eyes and forehead are better in the color version, otherwise I like the B&W. Have you tried converting the color to B&W? Maybe you have, I'll check the rest of the responses.
