My "new" wife.......

As previously posted, I have been on a diet since July 2008, losing 120lbs but my wife has also been on the same diet, losing 90lbs. She vary rarely gets in front of the camera, so I have to take my chances while I can

Here is a shot, quickly taken, with my new Gemini 750+ and large softbox. Colour and black & white versions for you to comment on too

Cheers

Nice picture. I prefer the color one myself.

Congrats to you both on the weight loss!!

That's a lovely young lady you have there. Perfectly natural looking portrait.

FWIW, the color is more appealing here.

Color version for me, and congrats to both of you.

Yes indeed congrats on the weight loss!
The pics, I prefer the color as well.

I see 2 pictures of your daughter (one color, one B&W). Where are the pics of your wife?



Congrats!

I do like the color image. It has a Mona Lisa quality. I love her eyes and smile. Very easy to look at.

Colour for me as well... and huge congratulations on both your weight losses... Those are huge numbers, and you'll both reap the benefits of a healthier and longer, better quality lives...

Congratulations to you both, that is a fantastic effort, truly amazing and I'm sure very rewarding.
They are both beautiful portraits of your wife, to be the odd one out here I prefer the BW version, I think it tends to show her off your wifes beautiful bone structure better, IMHO.

Well done on the weight loss. I prefer the colour as the B&W has a slightly over-exposed forehead. Nice eyes.

Congrats! I prefer the color version, I think the b&w would be great with a bit more contrast.

Thanks everyone for your extremely kind comments. Tina also sends a big thank you.
