Wow! So this is your 1st b&w image & i actually wondered as i clicked on its thunbnail whether i would feel so emotionally gripped by it without a full 16.7 Million Color Spectrum bringing you as much to life as any mere image capture by even the greatest photogragher ever could. But then i downloaded the full-sized version & miracast it to my tv so i could really admire it at a full screen resolution, & i was simply stunned! You are so well lit & shaded that i feel i could climb into this image & sit against backdrop behind you like the luckiest fly-on-the-wall in the world & simply admire how real the moment appears to be! I absolutely love b&w art but so few artists are skilled enough to know how to setup a truly professional looking b&w still. Often the light is either too harsh & glaring, not softened & diffused properly for a crisp, clean shading effect that enhances the Subject & the features being sought for proper illumination & enhancement in the capture. Also the Subject is often dress or colored (or DIS-colored) will inproper makeup effects that also tend to greatly detract from if not outright ruin many b&w art stills. But this image is simply stunning! I really wish every new photographer hoping to become a better b&w artist could study this as one of several excellent examples of the proper ways to light, dress, & style-&-makeup their models/subjects in their b&w images! Thank you for another beautiful photo, Diacita! The doggonemaddog!
