I like them both. As I suspected they are two, almost entirely different, photos. In black and white the photo is all about body language and facial expression. It's about the moment. In colo(u)r, it's a great image, and would be even if I took off my glasses and only saw colo(u)red blurs. My habit is to use color as the default, but will often decide that a picture is stronger in black and white. I appreciate the fact that with you, a photo has to stand on its own in black and white, and color only makes it better. I find it interesting that in color it's easier to notice that the picture isn't tack sharp which I find amusing because I was just reflecting on how generally sharp all of your photos have been lately. They've all had the theraultian subject matter, but not the theraultian blur or noise.
