I Need your help folks!

Well its my birthday next week and i'm hoping to get one of my favourite pictures of Monty printed onto a canvas to go on my kitchen wall. Anyway i thought i'd play around with the colouring a bit and see what it looked like black and white and then also sepia except now i can't make my mind up!! And that's where you lot come in!!

So folks, which do you think looks best?

ORIGINAL:



BLACK AND WHITE:



SEPIA:



Currently it will be going onto a very pale yellow wall but obviously that could change as we move house etc.

Thanks in advance for your help

original - but I`d crop it to make the dog more central- she seems to be running out of the picture.

Hmmm good point but the width will be on a long thinner landscape style canvas so i thought it might look right. I'll test it out with some cropping though.

I like the original and black and white versions, but agree cropping to make the dog central would look better. Also in the original one I would dampen down the blue of the background to make the dog stand out more, but that's just personal opinion!

I've voted for the original. I think the composition is fine. I think it would be less interesting if the dog was central and the large expanse of sand behind the dog balances the picture nicely.

I agree with Talassie that it looks good with Monty where he is
