Bucking the stream:
The color is much better.

Why? The color photo shows softer highlights, better gradations on the skin,
and much more expressive eyes.

The BW is harsh, has too bright a highlight on the face and makes the eyes
look hard rather than deep.
The thumbs are also overemphasized in the BW...


Note: The larger face in the BW may influence why it's preferred by some
people...
