Birddog, how can you say "Nice portrait in B&W" if you don't like B&W?
Mark, nice portrait in B&W! Really!

Hilop,
I didn't say : I don't like the B& W
What I said: B&W is not my mood or I'm not a B&W fan.
But I can say: nice portrait in B&W, any controversial with my statement? or am I banned to comment any B&W photos? any new policies on this board which I didn't know yet?

Nice portrait. The facial tones seem a little blown on this LCD monitor though, but not by too much. Might have a look on my CRT at home later.

Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 9:28 amI think the contrast is a bit harsh for the subject. I'd like to see that aspect softened a little; the subject is a very pretty lady, and the high key treatment with the bold whites on the skin doesn't, for me, do the best for the subject.

I deliberately left it like this because I was a little undecided. The shot was part of a series and in the other shots, the same blown type areas work and the effect is a constant across the 5 pics in the series. This one is the only tight head and shoulder shot. On it's own, I don't personally mind it myself but I did think it may not be too everyone's liking. Thanks for the good feedback on something I wasn't sure about myself and certainly fair comments.

Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:37 pmI feel the blown hightlights dont work on this image.
It contrasts too much between the overall dark feel of the shot.
Perhaps if the rest of the image was highkey also........
