Subject: [Leica] The little girl and the stingray, 3 versions

My photo of the little girl encountering a stingray in the Maui Ocean 
Center's "Open Ocean" tunnel has turned into a major project, because of 
the extreme mixed light. There is no "right" answer to this one, but I'm 
curious how people feel about I've now made three versions:

1. The original, very blue, which is what things actually looked like to me.

2. A new version where the girl is reasonably color-balanced, and the 
underwater environment is still very blue.

3.? A B&W version, which sidesteps the "mixed light hell" issues 
entirely, but loses the blue underwater "feel," and the separation 
between Fish World and Human World of #2.

Comments welcome. Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3?
