The big question: should I get color or black and white?
The answer: which ever you prefer!!! (I know, not helpful)
If I convert a photo to black and white I will try to always give you the color version as well. I'm a black and white lover from way back but I realize that not everyone feels the same way. That's why I offer both edits, so you can choose the one you prefer. After all, it's going on your wall, not mine.
PS - I do remove birth marks (like this little beauty's) but I prefer to embrace them. I feel they are what makes each of us unique and special.
