It seems easier to see the girl. The B&W would work better, I think, if the upper left background was burned in to make it a slightly darker. This area competes with her face in the B&W, but in the color this (lighter) area is balanced by the colorful flowers on the right, so she becomes the center of interest. (I think I would like the upper left toned down in the color too, but it doesn't seem to be as critical there).
