not converted in b/w.

img2016em7.jpg
exposure time 1/200
F9.0
ISO 100.

thanks to everyone for their continuing tips/hints/etc.

same settings as above.

we only have the 2 light setup...we used one on the right side of the image...bare bulb
and put the other behind and to the left of the image.
we have no snoot or grids but fashioned some sort of cone out of tin foil
and pointed it at the back to bring up the hair from the bacground?
we couldn't really control it so it was really all over (notice model's right shoulder lit? we didn't want that) :(

anyway...what would you suggest we do to make these better?
(in photoshop or whatever?)


thanks!
