gf BW

too much work IMO to get rid of the graffiti behind the hair. if anyone wants a stab, let me know.

its an odd cropp. yes the grafitti needs to go - or get bigger. It looks like an ear
why so much space above her? the BW conversion needs to be done through channel mixers. cute gf though.

I agree with korrektor--way too much empty space above her. She is very small in the shot--lime a mouse in the corner... Have you tried cropping the image? As to the grafitte, it seems like it would have been an easy fix to move her slightly so the grafitti wasn't a factor in the shot. Thanks for sharing.

a LOT better!

that second crop is much better!..

second crop is much better like the b/w conversion.

The crop is much better but your conversion is flat and needs work.

Yup. The crop made a lot of difference. Nice job.

very nice. crop definitely made it a better picture.

why did you photoshop "14" in?
anyway, if you do do someting like this make sure to download some grunge photoshop brushes to create more texture so the numbers look natural.
