I'm learning retouching and have been messing around with this pic, which admittedly needed very little work, but I really like it. Color or B/W??

I will almost always say color, so I may not be your target audience, but I prefer the color version.
I am not of a mind to accept the common belief that a black and white photo is inherently more artistic.

I like them both, but like Bill, I prefer the color version. It's always a matter of personal preference, and there are times when a black and white just jumps out at me.

I like them both, but she has such a nice skin tone that is accentuated by the gray that makes the color version more pleasing to me.

I love the picture.
Color is my preference
There is the spot where her right hand falls, that there is some hip flesh showing.
It's not clear what it is in B&W. Not sure it would have bothered me if I only had the B&Wto look at.

Definitely B&W but then I almost always go for B&W. I do agree the exposed leg skin is a distraction.

I'll take the color. All it looks like you did with the monochrome is desaturate it.

Usually for nudes I prefer black and white, i enjoy the black and white values, but in this case, I agree with the others that the color version is superb. I love the mature and curvy young woman in this image. She comes across very self confident and lovely, the grey mesh coverup is wonderful. I think we all look forward to more submissions.

I prefer color. I like the skin tone and the color of her hair that are lost in B&W.

I prefer the black and white version. There's an old saying regarding color and portraits, which can be applied here. Black and white if you want to present the person. Color if you want to show what they're wearing.
