    I like the BW best. The sepia seems a little flat and the thrid image (color) has to many green elements.

    Just my 2 cents.

    The B&W image lacks contrast.

    The sepia image is interesting, but would be my second choice.

    The color is my favorite of the three-- the most "pop".

    So does the color lack contrast - it was shot in nice soft diffused light and this tends to be lower contrast.

    I agree that there is too much green - not the best choice against skin tones. I prefer the first B&W. I would try converting the shirt color to a warmer tone in the color picture, and see if it doesn't make it the best. Maybe a reddish tone or a tan tone to offset the green.
