    Even with all the slides and everything I think the last one is the funniest.
    They are both smiling really nice and I immediately picked up on the ring.
    I don't like the first one so much because of the rail just above their head.
    I do like the black and white conversion one but it comes out a little blurry on my monitor, maybe because you had to shrink them, but I'm sure its fine when printed off.
    Really good work.

    Thank you for your kind words Ashley. I really like the last one too. As for the B&W looking soft, I am not sure why, it was converted from this one and slightly cropped...

    but the B&W one does look softer to me too.

    Maybe the B&W makes their nice complexions too perfect...
    Haha.
    I just used the green channel on your orginal and liked the results. How did you convert it?

    How do you do the "green channel"? I am a noob at PS. I changed it to greyscale and adjusted the contrast and brightness. I think the crop might be the culprit on the softness though, not the conversion.
