[Skip Souza]

Yep, 4 and 6. Nice work.

[elbirth]

[rookie]

[elbirth]

wow, the color versions are wonderful as well, I honestly can't decide which I like better... I love both for different reasons. I love your b&w conversion job.

Thanks for the more info, makes me continue to wonder if I want to eventually setup my own small "studio" setting for some shots

[Citizensmith]

I'll vote for 3 and 4, and the b/w versions. Very nice work.

[Titus213]

Very nice stuff. You hit the light, color, composition, saturation, everything for me. And I definitely prefer the color versions.

[cmM]

wow, very nice shot, lovely model too.... she looks very confortable and willing to be photographed :)

[cmM]

OMG I just noticed that doll..... that is one freaky looking doll... I'm gonna have nightmares tonight

[smittymike19]

love number one. the red in that is gorgeous, what is it?

[VesselinG]

I like them all... and the scar...

[bikerider]

Excellent photos, I love gothic images and she is a classic goth model, very 'Addams Family' would love to see more........1 and 2 look great in colour and I reckon' 3 and 4 suit b&w, again, top stuff.

[SuzanneCarey]

I like the color ones but I also think your b&w conversion is pretty good. I think its an interesting subject, really catches your attention.

[Baadil]

Very nice shots... #3 in the BW is my fav. It shows natural attitude and innocense. Great job.

[acidhouse]

really like #1, think the colour one with the red background makes it more powerfull
but all are cool

[deedas]

Wow, I actually can't pick a favorite. I love all of them. :)

[cfcRebel]

#3 gets my vote. Very lovely face expression and the dress is perfect for B&W, of course imho. ;)

[Ballen Photo]

Hi Rookie, Looks like a nice set, albeit a bit dark. I like them all, but tend to lean towards #3. :D
From the looks of Her Pose's, She's either done this before, and is an experienced model, or, She's just a natural at it. I think you should do another shoot with Her. ;)
BTW, The color versions look GREAT!

[berrylish]

whoa, very nice! i like them all

[jukas]

#6 is my favorite with #1 being a close second. For me in portraits I need to clearly see the eyes which is why #6 wins out.

[rookie]

Thanks for the comments ...and did someone mention a doll...lol...yeah that thing freaked me out to..

[MAD DOG]

Very nice shots.

They really have a moody feel to them.

[DwightMcCann]

I like 'em all, too ... what a great model, great posing, great face, great lollipop, wonderful smile.

[drisley]

The b&w conversions of the first 3 are amazing! I wish I could do monochrome that well.
The color versions are just as good. I kind find anything to critique. They are just so good.
This second batch above are also just as amazing! Great work!

PS. what method do you use for the b&w conversion on the first 3 if you dont mind me asking?

[lostdoggy]

Nice shots, like #1 the most.

Can you do a return after each photo??? Thanx!!!

[grego]

In color or bw, if you turn her http://hometown.aol.com/rhfrancoeur/k2.jpg to the right(facing the photo), and get some light on her face, you got something good going in that one. Anyway, very good job.

[rookie]

The B&W was simply converted to grayscale thats all I did the results are a carry over from the contrast of the original and the dress took on a great look

Mono is better. Love #1. Would like a print of that!

[drisley]

stupendous! Just goes to show that if you have a great picture to start with, less post processing is needed.
