Last Day of B&W Portraits

I have learned so much this week - so glad I had those 2 folders to work from. Maybe I won't try to totally avoid "people" shots - at least outdoors. I love working them in b&w.

This is a lovely portrait Milanie, nice composition too!
Isn't is fun experimenting and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone!

i think this is your best portrait, or maybe it is just her smile.

[Ann]

Very pretty shot.

[Lisa Malecki]

beautiful portrait. Love B&W for portraits. esp if the color tones are a bit off.:))

[Milanie]

@lisainstpete This has definitely made a convert of me for portraits!

[Gayle]

Another lovely portrait! You do a fantastic job with "people" shots!

[GaryW]

These really do look great in B&W. Lovely photo here of a beautiful young lady!

[Rick]

Yeah, looks like you have done really well with the portraits. Think that may be something that I may be avoiding. Great shot.

[Milanie]

@rickster549 The thing I've learned is to use kids you know fairly well - particularly teenage girls between 16-18 - they really get into it and all you have to do is hit the shutter!

[Allison Maltese]

This is so lovely!!! I'd try another version of it cropped as a vertical around her arms and face--sliced right down the middle of the shot..
