I like the tones on the image. I don't particularly like the grain, though. It doesn't create a pleasing halo in the hair. The strands on the top of the head are especially distracting and pull down what could be a very strong and beautiful image.

Day 2 - Raindrops
by Artyste

Comment:
Lovely and moody. Maybe a bit more definition in the raindrops would really create an even better composition. Your light, which just glances across the surface, really makes the image sing.

Nice use of strong shadows. I have not tried much low key, but will be as the month progresses.

Very sweet. Highlights could use more detail,though. Still,t hat is one very cute face.

Your blacks are really black, which is good. Needs a bit more highlight and graduated midtones to make a great b&w. Not sure this one really lends itself to that. Still, composition is very nice and the gates at the front have the best tonal quality for b&w.

Day 2 - Castle Hill Lighthouse

Wonderful conversion. Looks way better than the color.

Castle Hill for Editing

I can see this as a black and white right from the image, without even looking at the black and white. You have chosen perfect conditions to get contrasts in conversion. It needs to be low contrast with few shadows. I find that when I take pictures in color, the best ones to convert are ones just like this.

Sanctuary

Ezekiel 45:1-9

God promises a sanctuary

The word of the Lord came to me:
O mortal, how does the wood of the vine surpass all other wood -
the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?
Is wood taken from it to make anything?
Does one take a peg from it on which to hang any object?
It is put in the fire for fuel;
when the fire has consumed both ends of it
and the middle of it is charred,
is it useful for anything?

Nice subject. Just enough dof to keep the image appealing.

Day 2 - Entrance

Comment:
Why do church entrances always seem so creepy sometimes. Love the low key on this one. The detail of the iron work is very understated which adds to the dark mood.
