 I'm not sure about this pic. The model is my self conscious wife, who was happy with this pic because of what it didn't reveal!

Adjusted brightness/contrast and warmed the colour balance before converting to b/w. Bumped the brightness a little more, added border and resized.

From the CC

Very clever title. This is nicely done. The lighting is very soft and well placed. Composition is great I like the balance you have created in the shot. Not at all revealing yet a strong and sensual. The skin tones are smooth and well done. My only complaint is the lack of contrast but, that is my personal opinion. Overall I think you did very well. Please tell your wife she has NOTHING to be self consious about.

Very nice, I like the lighting and composition, just feel like a bit more contrast would've helped.

I like this very much but it doesn't have quite the richness and contrast I associate with duotones.

Beautiful composition. It is very moving with smooth skin tones and beautiful lighting. Very sensual.
