Color, Sepia and.... Sketch?

Got a funny email over the weekend from a guy who "borrows" copywritten photos for "inspiration" and then possibly makes money from them on his website. The photo he borrowed happens to be one I won an award for over at BetterPhoto.com. Anyways, wanted to get opinions related to that particular photo... Do you like the photo in color, in sepia or as a sketch better? If some people like the sketched version, I just may contact him to see if he will sub contract for me and I can offer that service to my clients. If nobody likes the sepia version, I may stop spending so much time doing custom black and white/sepia conversions.

Here they are... Please comment!

Mom takes one for the photographer

Yup, if you are a good baby photographer, you will have the mom hold the baby for a specified amount of time after the diaper comes off. I can't say I didn't get any pee on me, but I can say I didn't get the majority of it:) I'm kidding about purposefully trying to have the mother take the bullet... But from now on I know when not to hold the baby!

under 40 degrees... great for photos!

It's incredible to photograph friends from the past. In this case, I played basketball at Barlow with the dad back in our days. Turns out his parents had a great photo location next to the Sandy River in Sandy, Oregon. Yeah, it was freezing cold and threatening to rain, but hey, we needed to get Christmas photos! And they had some cute daughters. The twin girls area little older than our triplets.
