Mono for me also, and I think I'd play with uping the contrast a little.

Colour for me too - but select the red shorts and pull down the colour satuaration and luminance a bit. As it is they distract from the face. The colour balance on the skin tones is very good I feel.

What's this Nigel 'Select the red shorts and pull down............', my goodness you have to be careful what you are saying Colour for me too - but select the red shorts and pull down the colour satuaration and luminance a bit. As it is they distract from the face. The colour balance on the skin tones is very good I feel.
I think more appropriate wording may have been 'reduce the red saturation on the brightest red areas of the image, e.g. the shorts'.
Back to more serious matters, I like the mono one the best, I think some of the colours clash a bit and distract attention from the little boy.

Since his legs have been half 'chopped off' anyway, I would crop the photo just below his arm, I think that would be a more pleasing photo, particularly in colour

I agree. Make it a square crop and you have a lovely photo either in mono or colour. I am torn between the two, especially when cropped, so I can't help with that .
