  Oh my Jennifer, this is stunning and I didn't comment before that I remember, but if I did, I wanted to comment again. I love the lighting and B&W conversion and the pose is just great, not to mention how lovely Melanie is. Oh, and I forgot, I love the eyes! Great job Jennifer and good luck this time!
