WOW!!!!!!! What a beautiful woman!Tammy M. Anderson May 21, 2013
I agree with Kristen. Enter them both. Beautiful light and tones. I think I favor the color version a little more. #10701677Liz blahh May 21, 2013
Stunning! #10701733David Phalen May 21, 2013
Two beautiful images of a beautiful lady!! You should also enter the color version> #10701774Dale Hardin May 21, 2013
Michelle, these are both excellent. The pose, the subject, the light, the colors. You can't go wrong with either.At this point I think the color is the stronger of the two, but if you apply some creative dodging and burning to accent the key light on the black and white, I believe it will give the color image a run for it's money. #10701809

Tough choice but think I ever-so-slightly prefer the B&W. Both are beautiful portraits! #10701817Mitch Spence May 21, 2013
Strong portrait with great light. Yes, black and white for me, no question. #10701859Joannie Bertucci May 21, 2013
Both stunningly off the charts! The problem with posting both, the judges will have a very hard time trying to decide which one will get the grand prize! Into my favs, exceptional work Michelle #10702071MELODIE C. ROBERTS May 21, 2013

How beautiful, Michelle! I love this in black and white! #10702371Jeffrey R. Bange May 21, 2013
Both photos are outstanding Michelle, I prefer the B&W as I feel it has a little softer look to it. #10702402Barbara Waldoch May 22, 2013
Fantastic shot, Michelle! #10702522Lindley Johnson May 22, 2013
Beautiful work, Michelle! Both versions are outstanding - I especially love the black and white one. You could wait until next month to enter the color version, then they wouldn't be competing against each other. #10702831Lynn M. Whitt May 22, 2013
This is beautiful! I like both of them. #10702891Jill Odice May 22, 2013
What a great portrait of a beautiful woman! I love the colors, but the B/W version is very special also! #10702941Deborah C. Lewinson May 22, 2013

Both are simply OUTSTANDING Michelle!!!!! Hmmmm - if I have to chose I just love the lighting and tones of the b/w version #10705483Ujjwal Mukherjee May 24, 2013
Both are excellent images so enter the color version as well, however the b&w version would be my favorite due to the wonderful tone!! #10705604Mike F. Anderson May 25, 2013
What you've captured here as a candid Michelle, others painstakingly try to create in a studio. Excellent in all ways! I vote for the B/W one. I've enjoyed all your recent portrait entries. #10706389Cindy Bendush May 25, 2013
Gorgeous B&W study Michelle. The lighting is beautiful! This one is my vote! #10706601Rudi Reiner May 26, 2013
