man it has been a while since I have seen a photo of Megan... she is growing up fast
this is a beautiful study that captures more than just the reflected light, it has essence of soul

I even like the blown highlights

Man I need to get back down the South Island, my last four holidays to New Zealand have been in the North Island due to family luckily I have a brother down south so I will be annoying him next
onto the photo... I picked it as being a South Island alps feed river from the look of the water (yes everyone this is the right look for the water there)
love the lines, the contrast and the use of the full tonal range

Originally posted by boysetsfire: loving how she is within the lines that lead straight to the opera house, wondering if you croppped something distracting out of the composition or you just liked it cropped like this? nick

there was nothing distracting I was just trying to get the opera house up to it's 3rd line and the line intersection down to it's 3rd line
there is more sky, foreground and water to be had if need be

now I think about it I should have dodged the lines a lot brighter to lift the tone of the shot as they really stand out on the color version and are what the shot is about

Oh your friend is going to love you for posting this :)
my only problem with this is that the skin tone and the background are a little to close to each other on the right side, darkening that side of the background to equal the left would fix it

Day 2 - Castle Hill Lighthouse
by CapeSail

Comment:
I don't know if your monitor is calibrated but on my one this lacks a little contrast (shot needs to be a little darker)
the water, rocks and lower half of the lighthouse all seem to blend together tonally
by lightening the shadows and darkening the highlights you have lowered the overall contrast to much
any chance of seeing the color original as I like the shot and would like to try a few different B&W looks, jpeg this size would be fine :)
