Love the smooth skin, and the bandw tones/contrasts are super! #2696767

Dr Silly April 27, 2006

I don't like 1/2 face portraits. With that said, I think you have a winner in the B&W theme. Her expression ( I would have like to seen all of it LOL), the B&W contracts and tones are perfect. Oh Did I say B&W are not my thing also. LOL. So this phto goes against my likes. And I LOVE it. Well done. :o)

I am new to this website so was looking at the images, getting the feel of things. I was going kind of fast down the page but YOUR photo stopped me dead in my tracks.
You captured innocence, intrigue, mystery and sensuality. Black and white is a new area for me and your shot just grabbed my attention. Beautiful and lovely and serene.
