With. The one with the girl creates a tension between the two figures that is lacking in the one with a single figure.

The little girl adds NOTHING to the picture.

I prefer the image with her. Her presence does add something for me, even if I'm hard-pressed to attribute i to anyhting other than better balance.

What sort of story do you wish to convey to your audience?

You see Bob, that's kind of the problem. I'm not too sure. I'm really just interested in whichever one is more interesting. In one, you have a lone man under a bridge, seen in a (possibly) contemplative moment, while in the other, you have a lone man under a bridge......looking at a lone and possibly unsupervised little girl. To some people, the latter could have sinister implications.
So, without regard for what I want, which looks more interesting to you?

Agreed. Without.
With disturbs the balance of adult, cart and (?) bicycle in the background.
IMHO, the addition of the little girl turns an interesting, open ended and well balanced photo into an unbalanced, pedestrian, domestic shot.

I understand. I often see a good B&W in a good color image, and process for both. Which is better? Depends on the audience I'm playing to, or my own mood of the moment. So in answer to your question, I see two different statements here, and I am not sure myself which I prefer. Neither really grabs me, but I can appreciate them for what they are, and put my own story to each one. But I think that's more out of respect for you as a peer, and your query - otherwise I don't think I'd linger over these much at all.
