My grandaughter.
She's 2 and likes cows, horses, and cornfields - yes, she points out the "corn" as we drive in the car - and she knows the difference between growing corn and other crops! Not sure of the reason for her interest . . .
I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk in the corn (with D70 in hand).
Here is one of my shots:

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

1) for this b/w conversion, I'd love to see more contrast throughout the image.
2) I'd also love to see the color. I wonder what is lost when you lose the color...
3) For an alternative b/w conversion, try this one from Greg Gorman's site. Click Navigate>Learn>B&W Conversion tutorial. It usually has fantastic results.

What a cutie, and I love her expression. When I first laid eyes on this shot, I thought turn-of-the-century photo. The only thing that's missing is some aging process done to make it look old.
Thanks for the smile,
Chris
A picture is but words to the eyes.

I also added some grain.
Beautiful!
I purposely kept the contrast on the lower side. I tried a higher contrast but it started to have a "fashion model" look and I was loosing detail in the bow on her head and her shirt. Anyway I wanted to keep the soft range of tones on her face.
Good thoughts for me. Thanks and I will keep playing with it based on your thoughts.
I'll also post the color version but I like the B&W. The out of focus leaves right in front of her are a strong green.

I have used everyone's ideas and here's another pass at the shot. But I do want to keep more of the detail in the clothing and her hair bow. I masked the clothing and increased the contrast and then "toned" the shot a little.
