Thanks, Gerrit.

I tend to prefer monochrome on most of my photos with human subjects, for some reason. I can't quite put a finger on what it is, but it does seem to help capture the essence of people.

Of course, when there's colorful graffiti as an element in the shot, it's hard not to utilize that color. Otherwise, it seems to miss the point of using the graffiti. Also, when the model has brilliant blue eyes, it's tough not to highlight that aspect of them.

I prefer this one over the colour ones you posted earlier. Somehow the
monochrome removes distractions? The leaves tie is nicely with her outfit.
The highlight on her right eye is very effective as well.

Subject: PESO: One that almost got away (LeeAnn again)

I always find shots that didn't catch my eye when I originally went through
a set of images. This is one from the shoot I did with LeeAnn the other day
that I don't know how I managed to miss.

K-5, F 50/1.4, f/3.2, ISO 400, 1/50 sec

After a little cropping and a b/w treatment, I think it may actually be my
favorite of the bunch.

Comments are, as always, welcome.
