This is my first (clumsy) attempt to make this shot high-key, as suggested. Is it any better?

Better ? NO... the original (On Black) is a good portrait.
Bad ? NO... I like it actually, effective. Good first attempt id say.

Ok Roy what have you done??I would have left her skin tones etc as they were in the original and just changed the background to white..Also I wouldn't have changed it to mono..

Now go back and try again (putting on my concerned teacher's voice).. :lol:

Regarding the second background, two words:

Yes, I too remember Susan George, but I hadn't noticed the similarity until you pointed it out.

Really like the black. And could not help but do some skin smoothing. It's what I am learning right now. Hope you don't mind.

This isn't constructive in any way to the shot but I really couldn't put my finger on who she looks like.

Susan George, thanks Peter.

Did not see the high-key. I think it is absolutely beautiful! I must learn how to do that!
