This one is from Trapani, Sicily. A wonderful picturesque small town, full of photographic opportunity. I visioned this picture in orange (that is what it looked in real life because of the lighting type), but I wanted to see the image in B&W as well. Now I can't decide which one to use. Please help me out. C&C also welcome.

Orange version for me. Different reason.
Orange is close to red in color spectrum and seeing the title and the picture I had in mind a red-light district.

Also +1 for color version
Very nice. Very good atmosphere.
A slightly thicker DOF would have been imher nicer though
The B/W version could have been warmer in tones

With B&W the figure's impact is more powerful and mysterious. I think this fits better with the fact that she's only a silhouette with no detail visible.
With orange, the environment becomes more important (and the person conversely less); for this reason I would expect some discernible detail in the woman
in the orange version, to fit better into the scene.
By the way, I wanted to ask: was she a local girl, or your wife/girlfriend serving you as model?

Thanks everyone! I do like both versions, but I think I will go with my instinct and use the original. Maybe I will make a new attempt at post processing the B&W version later on. Slightly warmer tones and a bit of grain maybe?
Orio: the girl is my girlfriend, we had a blast during the 10 minute session. A lot of confused people driving slowly by

I too think that the B&W version shows potential but I need to get more skilled in the conversion process. I'm happy with the colour version for now and later on, I can go back and work on the B&W version.
