Well, I certaintly enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed taking it,
since I don't know anything about taking portraits and we must have
taken 200 pics that day and very few of them were keepers, and even
fewer felt as right as this one.
Sometimes you just get it right. :-)
I need to work on getting it right more often...
Yes, I really like this one as well. Everything about the picture
seems to contribute something. Even the hair being the way it is (I
like it that way!). The narrow depth of field, the glow to the skin
(artifact of B&W conversion?), the graininess of the background, her
expression... I could go on and on.
Thank you Matt. I think the glow is some type of B&W conversion
artifact that came from playing around with the color channel
contributions. It got more pronounced with certain combinations.

Good luck, hope you find one!
