Thank you, John and Jack for your responses.

John, - you are probably right. Having looked (now at a different ambient light) I decreased the "exposure", which made the face features showing better.
So, thanks for that suggestion!

"The color is too intense", - I assume you were talking about the low-color version, right? I purposely left _some_ color, not making it B&W completely, and this is the 5th version or so.

(Just in case you meant the other photo: I hadn't touched the colors in the "full color" version, - those as they "were" (whatever that means). Taking the exposure down in LR might dim those colors a bit.)

Here are the updated versions of the same two:

As for the "unfaded" vs "faded", - that was the essence at one of the levels: "unfaded" despite the visual appearance. Or something like that...
And yes, you guess right: it is a girl.

In the first one, the color is a too intense. Lighting on the little
girl's face (apologies if it's a little boy - no offense intended) is
harsh & flat.

If the title is "unfaded glory", the glory in the second one shouldn't
be faded, IYKWIM. Lighting on the child's face is still too harsh & flat.

Only my opinion, so don't take it too seriously.

I greatly enjoy 31/1.8 Ltd. (As well as 77/1.8.)

This photo is taken wide open (f/1.8, 1/40s, ISO-6400).
I am not quite sure which version I like better:

(The alternative title for the first version: "unfaded glory".)

All comments and feedback are appreciated.
