100 Strangers : Round 3 (Extra Photo) : No. 291 : Millie

This is an extra photo of stranger 291, skateboarder Millie.

My "stranger" photo was colour, with Millie showing us her skateboard.

However, I cannot resist doing a headshot, nor a black and white shot, so here is a black and white headshot of Millie

Shot wide open at f2.8 using my Tamron 28-75mm lens

The Black and white G'MIC filter / plugin to GIMP renders fabulous black and white images.

Thanks for all your support.

Great portrait.

A very different effect from the pink of the color shot. I really like it.

[LManning (Laura)]

Her eyes really leap out in black and white. Lovely!

Cracking image:)

Fav. The coloured version was beautiful but this is more striking.

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely in monochrome

[Judith Johnson]

Nicely captured against the out of focus background

Great dof & suits B&W.

She has a classical beauty ( it’s a compliment)and the B&W fits her very well !
