I apologize I'm a little late on my responses. Things were a bit busy this past week.

#4 is a bit too tight but otherwise I do like the poses and crops. The black and white conversion is very well executed too creating rich tonal range.
Thanks for commenting, Ted. I see your point on #4. As far as the B&W goes, thanks to the assistance of several helpful FM'ers, I've been trying to really improve on my conversion technique. Thanks again!

Nice shots, large eyes
Thanks, yeah, she does have rather large orbs! Better to see with, I guess!

Wow, I love the green of her eyes!
You should see them in real life! Thanks for viewing!

I think color works much better. She seems too pale in B & W. Just my two cents. Nice work.
Thanks for your comments. I agree that color is probably better for some of these - I just don't see "well" in color. I see more B&W tonalities when I look around. Now if only I could implement some kind of self-algorithm that would give me tonal values!

I really like the first one of the second group, excellent color shot. I think you nail it here. Her eyes looks beautiful and I also like the composition and light. She look´s calm and also looks very comfortable with the camera. Great job.
Thank you very much for your comments, signo! We actually had several hours of great conversation during this time, which I think definitely helped her comfort levels.

Really great shots. I was going to pick a few favorites, but it will be more than half of them...
You are too kind, Ben! Thanks for viewing 'em.

Well, technically I didn't loan any cameras, thank god! But, you are right in your assessment. I'm not sure I catch the reference to chain saws though...

I would've preferred less arms/hands & more face on #6. The B&W's don't do her eyes justice!
Thanks for the comments. I just couldn't find a good tighter crop the way I had shot that one. But, I do see what you are saying. And yeah, you are definitely right about the eyes. Thanks again
