Do you like this effect?

I was just playing around in photoshop this evening. I ended up with what I think is a really nice b&w conversion. I'm just curious what you all think???

Eh, to be honest, her skin is too blown out to me. Nice experiment in contrast though.

too blown. not a good b & w imho!

I have to agree with the above. Plus the black on black makes her look as if she has been decapitated.

I think it would look good if she had a bit more tonal variance in her face.

Not really.

I'd pull it back a bit with curves but I like the style. The sweater or top is really a void without any texture which distracts. I like the shot overall though, good eye.
