Black Beauty

[Dor]

This is my first post. I used my 10D, with the Can17-40mm.
This is my niece.... I enjoy the challenge of shooting dark people - and converting to BW with good contrast without losing their facial features... let me know what you think! Cheers;)

[Dor]

[MattSG]

Yup...all fixed.

Great shot and processing.

[marie]

I don't like her leg coming up behind her just like that though
and her fingernails came out a little too bright

I like it a lot, beautiful girl. Just the bright spots in the back that are a little distracting, other wise very nice indeed.

A great shot of a beautiful girl; Her leg in the frame doesn't bother me at all. The lack of depth of field takes care of that and it tells me more about the pose. Well done!

I really like this photo. You have a good range of tones and contrast as you say. What technique do you use to convert to black and white?

[timmyquest]

I love it!

There is really something about Black subjects that with the proper lighting, can make amazing black and white photography. More so then any other ethnicity.

She's cute!

I really like it and agree the leg in the background works fine. Gorgeous eyes.

[mkitson]

Great shot. What technique do you use to convert to black and white?

This might be you're first post but it's not you're first shot.
You know exactly what you're doing.
This is a great shot although I tend to agree with Marie on the leg. Also the hair might be a bit distracting to the left.

But the above is just nit picking, it's a great shot.

Dor, very nice photo. You should get rid of the spot on the forehead.

Oh yeah, and you're hot.

[stoneylonesome]

Very nice shot You've done a great job on this one. :)

[PhotosGuy]

Nice shot. I might crop the sides a bit.

[defordphoto]

Beautiful shot of a beautiful girl. Those eyes! :) The only thing I'd suggest is cloning out the small light spot/blemish high on her forehead.

[Dor]

Thank everyone for your comments and suggestions - really appreciate it. I agree with OneManArmy & RFM regarding the spot on her head (dont know how i missed that one)... and thanks OneManArmy for your nice compliment ;-)

Sorry OMA, I skimmed posts and didn;t see you had already pointed it out.

Dor: Keep shooting this girl. She's a great subject, especially with those eyes.
