Ask and you shall receive. I prefer the B&W conversion. I softened it a little which seems kinder to the baby's complexion. Which do you prefer?

The black and white version as well...very classy the way you've edited it and a great gift for your wife (she's gonna love it!). Good looking kiddles, by the way... :

Natch, I like the color more in this case. It's so much more alive. So much more about people and so much less about the photographer. The B&W seems relatively sterile.
Thanks for all the kind comments! My wife loved the photo. I suspect the tears were somehow connected to all of her raging hormones!
Good luck trying this shot, Nir. It is tough getting three young kids to hold still with their heads so close together!! I wound up shooting this on a floor near a large window for some natural lighting. I used a flash set off on a second tripod which I bounced off the white ceiling to fill in some of the shadows.
Priceless!!
I love both versions Love the composition, too!!
As Rutt points out, the color version seems more "real". But, the B&W seems more elegant and, if you will, "artsy". No colors to distract, just 3 cute kids I also like the tighter crop on the B&W version
Thanks for sharing and I bet she cried when you gave her this :

The high key B&W seems timeless to me. I like it a great deal and I think it will wear better over the long haul. The detail in the color image does not help at all in my limited opinion.

I would like to see the color version.
