I like the BW conversion as well as the "message". Not sure if would have used the ring? The blurred background is nice as well. Maybe a more DOF to get all of the hands in clear would be nice, but that is a personal preference. -7-

Nice one Marak. In truth this one didn't really do much for me (in comparison that one you posted today for the 14d HDR kicks SO much ass it's unreal). I think it's the toning which bugs me - in b&w shots I personally like the blacks to be black with stronger contrast. The voters all love it though :)

I like the blown highlights and her eye is beautiful. I think the hair in her face is also pleasing. 8

Wow. I have to say that I am not a big portrait fan in free studies, but occasionally DPC throws up an image that just stops you in your tracks and leaves your speechless

This is one of those shots

Love the fact that even though you have gone for only a half face portraitt (my favourite) that you have got it filling the screen so well

Love the high key and the outstanding shapness.

Terrific B&W conversion
