p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Beautiful woman in B&W

Short before Covid19 I had the opportunity to short with this beautiful woman. While exploring my new printer, Epson P900, I redevelop some of her images in B&W.

Nice B&W values. But I think her left arm should not be raised as shown.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback!
The picture was spontaneous and unprepared during a workshop in Morocco. I took it in a tight walkway between two parts of a building, Sony A7RIII with Sony FE 85mm F1.4 @F4.0 without any additional light or reflector. I was caught by the strong contrast of the rough wooden door and her beautiful smooth face. Her name is Leela Tikadar. During editing I also noticed her dirty underarm from the red-brown bricks which adds perfectly for me. As the light didn't accentuate what I saw I gave up after this single picture on this location. I could only edit it to my taste now with the new LrC masks. Also only by printing I got a satisfying B&W edit, Fuji Acros Red profile. In general I consider printing a huge help for my editing.

Below the color version with Cobalt Canon profile, as I'm most of the time in conflict with Sony colors.

You are right. My eyes were on the wooden door and her face

Where would you have asked her to put the arm?

Leela and Morocco did fit so well. Even my wife likes some pictures, first time ever with a model

Dan, thank you so much for your kind words !!

You are a winner of many assignments and picture threads. Hence I'd like to ask you what are the rules for a picture thread to be open for voting? This thread was open for voting for some days, but now it's not anymore. Is it open for 7 days, and when is the assessment? Thank you for explaining me the rules.

Thanks for brining this up!
There is a problem!
I notified Fred of my WA Entry showing some conflicting data................Problem is that my "Adobe Photodownloader" is providing some different info to my images also.

12/23/2022.......Adobe CC uninstalled and reinstalled...AOK

Great work. If you did any post work, I might suggest removing the strands of hair across her forehead.

Rainer,
The first two added grayscale images are wonderful.
Jim

PS...How did you get the Alhambra in Granada all to yourself?

Daniel, Jim, thank you very much, very encouraging! I got a sense for the nuances of B&W only by printing myself.

This is not the Alhambra. This is in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Kasbah du Glaoui - Ait Ourir.

I was two times in the Alhambra, I love the (Moz)Arabic art. I was never cool enough to take portraits in this splendid but crowded environment. I still plan to go to other Mozarabic sites in southern Spain and take portraits with a pleasant and beautiful local lady like hers ...

Rainer,
I was commenting about your smugmug portfolio here...

Isn't this the Alhambra? The image of the building & tree reflecting in the pool is great.

Jim, sorry, I misunderstood, yes it is. The building & tree reflecting in the pool are located in the park next to the Alhambra Castle. I bought a ticket for one of the last entry slots in the evening and I did just wait.
