I really love this shot. I am surprised you don't do more high contrast shots, you are so good at them.

Can't believe the score on this Catherine. I thought this was pretty cool. I gave this a 6 because the background is a little washed out otherwise it would have been a 7.

I love this one. It really shines. Feels almost 3-D. Beautiful contrast.

PAD B&W Day 2 Untitled

Comment by JuliBoc:
I haven't read the other comments, so this comment may be redundant, but I don't like the grain on this image. The main reason is that the girl/boy (?) looks quite young, and I think this harsh dark treatment is unflattering and not appropriate for a young person. Also the white halo in and around the hair is distracting to me.

All that being said. I think the capture is wonderful. I like the lighting and the expression. And I like the tone and contrast of the B&W. The lock of hair in front of the eye is annoying, but that is what it's supposed to be, as far as I can tell. (My grandson keeps his hair in front of his face too.)

Comment by JerseyGenie:
Fantastic shot. I think the magic is in the capture (no kidding) but also in the shadow that echoes it too. Beautiful. I think this would really pop with some PP too.
