    Bottom one, because of the expression, IMHO.

    With the exception of the eyes in the last shot, I feel these are too bland. How do they look in color maybe with extra saturation even... Wish I could offer more suggestions for working with the b/w that you have.

    I definately like the last shot the best. Those eyes are awsome.

    All three portraits are very nice. On the second shot the shadow on the bottom could be removed with clone stamp. The baby's eyes are very compelling.

    Amazing eyes in all three, but the last, especially!

    You might try adding back the iris color to the last B&W image. It has been done before of course, but might work nicely in this image of this youngster who has such expressive eyes. 1drink.gif
