For this photo, I feel that the color photo presents a much more engaging view than the black and white version. It seems that the feel of the portrait is not only determined by the lighting, but also the position of the subject in regards to to the light and the color scheme of the environment in which the photo is taken as well as of the subject. In the color version of the photo the eye is engaged in trying to understand the narritative while in the black and white photo the narrow scope of tones leave the viewer searching for more depth.
I agree with Natasha. I prefer the color version of this particular photo. A lot of my favorite parts of this photo are lost when it is only presented in black and white. For example, I loved how much her green earring popped in the color photo. What I do like though is the shadows. Without color, there's a lot less distraction so your eye is more naturally drawn to the shadow.
