These are from last year. I've been re-processing some images and trying to get a B&W look that I actually like.

Cheers Guys.
I've been trying for ages to get a BW technique that was quick to do and worked on a range of different images. I finally feel that I'm making some progress.

I'll join the chorus: Frist image is a great portrait as it has that genuine joyful feeling to it. The lady was obviously at total ease when you took this photo and that happens very seldom with posed images.

Thanks Ted - some people are just too easy to photograph. We did this shoot for the portfolios of the stylists where my wife works.

Here's another of the same young lady:
