THIS is SPECTACULAR! I'm in love with the texture in his skin and the contrasty light on his face and eyes. 10++++

Awwww. .. I love it. There is such sparkle in that old face. I love the vintage way you processed it in sepia. It suits the story here.

Oh awesome! What perfect models for a shoot like this. It looks kind of contemporary, yet kind of vintage too. Beautiful job!

Gasp!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!!! I am crrrrazy about this processing. This is pretty much "my" style too. I love the soft, dreamy quality -- but it doesn't look "neat-imaged" and gooey like some of the skin effects do to photos. I think for her "attitude" and overall look, you nailed it!!!!

I love this portrait. The tattoos give such a dramatic affect to that beautiful feminine face. I love her pose, and I think you did good with the black and white conversion. One trick I've been playing with on the bw conversions is to go into the channel mixer, and after clicking on the "Monochrome" option at the bottom, sliding one of the channels (each picture works best with a different color being adjusted), for me, its usually the red channel, and I just up it a bit over the default, and it makes the whites pop and the darks a little more contrasty. But I think this is really pretty just like it is.

Ohhhmy! She is beautiful, and you have certainly capitalized on her dramatic look with that fabulous hair! This just grabs you the minute you see the thumb, and when you open it up, you are not disappointed! I am really preferring just a little more texture tho in her skin and hair, but hmmmm. . . the more I look it -- maybe that's all a part of the overall effect. Niiiice job!
