B&W Portrait

Still playing around with some B&W conversions to portraits.
CC welcome.

I like it. The narrow DOF works well with this type of slightly grainy B&W. Really makes the eyes "pop".

Great shot!

It's perfect......not much else I can add to that.

Very nice. The shot really has the 50's B&W feel where there is almost a hint or suggestion of sepia tone (just enough to warm the image). The soft focus and composition really add to the innocence associated with young children. A real nice shot all round.

Works for me. Kind of cheeky look.

Great image, so much more than just a snapshot.

Yes, very nice- the eyes have it as well as the unusual perspective.

You can almost see the mischeif in those eyes.

Great capture.

Evocative portraiture well done. Love the expression.

I really like it as well. Got just a sliver of the right eye in there, and I agree with another poster the narrow DOF and graininess work great.
