Mike,
I love the B&W and the pose although she doesn't seem totally relaxed.

Not sure about the large highlight on the leftside of her chest and also I find the large leaves of the plant at her eye level rather distracting.

Other than that, I like it.

Regards

I like the pose. Background seems a little busy but perhaps it has more meaning if that's where she lives.

Was there something about the colors in that image that made you decide to go B&W? Seems a shame to strip the color out of a beautiful woman with beautiful skin.

ill try to post the color version later tonight... it was very rich in the greens but i felt it didn't have anything else to offer

the highlight on her chest is from the sun

What they said, + maybe crop into the top 1/4 of the pic to eliminate the distracting elements? ;-)
