B & W works much better here I think. The bus is less distracting in this mode. You guys were right before about it needing to be there to tell the story, but if it could be toned down some. Maybe lighten the picture a bit to get better shadow detail and burn the bus. My focus is on what I can't see, which is the little girls face. I didn't blow it up, but the image gives me a desire to see the emotion on the little girls face if that detail exists. Perhaps it has it's own value in my imagination being stirred to wonder.

The colour one looks plain to me,nothing really snaps out.However the B&W one makes it look a little more like a picture(dont ask me to explain that last comment,i'm not sure what i mean.lol)Seeing as how the shadows are not really dark black,a little more detail in that area might help.
