I was considering this for Free Study but didn't want to subject SaraR to my usual FS performance (5.3 or so). So it's a second B&W a week submission.
This is from the small jpeg - I've not been shooting with the small jpeg lately but did while in York with Sara because I wanted to shoot B&W - helps me to "see" the B&W better that way. Processing (it was camera-converted to B&W) included cloning out the edge of the menu, some slight dodging to bring out her hair, and a duotone (actually I think it's a gray tritone). I like this a lot. More importantly, the subject likes it. :-)
Love this portrait! Not a typical portrait, but more than a snapshot. Great angle, expression and editing really connects the subject to the viewer/camera. Wonderful smile and while I'm not usually a fan of large jewelry in a portrait, this on helps frame her up for some reason...especially in the b/w.
Love that composition, the way the hairline and the neckline create this terrific curved shape! This could have been your posthumous ribbon! (ok, I admit I haven't looked at the other entries yet...)
