    man, folks around here are posting killer BW portraits...I gotta step up my game!!! The younger's shirt is a tad hot, but the skin tones are great if you can recover the forehead highlight. I am in love with the older girl's expression (much like Thiago's recent post).

    I love it. Really a great capture and a perfect conversion. The only thing that bugs me just a tad is the tight crop on the bottom.

    Wonderful shot - great capture of your children. What could be better to spend time photographing? You will treasure this photo down the road.............

    Nice Capture
    It's good that it's in B&W otherwise that background would rule the shot..it almost does now. I'm thinking if you did a black vinette (sp?...brain stopped) and then lessened the opacity a bit for the proper blend you may find your two wonderful subjects will grab the viewer's attention.

    Jeff,

    I would definitely not get a tattoo of your photo... but I would definitely print it BIG and frame it!!!!!!

    It's a beautiful shot, where IMHO everything works, from their expressions to the composition to the B&W conversion.

    Congratulations!
