Hi Larry,

I think this young lady should be in colour. WHY?  Well it's a nice little 
photo moment of a family member whom "we see in colour!" And we remember her 
in colour. I don't see anything being gained in B&W, unless you are wanting 
to move her into a different era of time than she is!

The colour will be far more memorable to her when she's a grown adult than a 
shot in B&W! FWIW!
cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
