One for CC

Any thoughts on this?

There was some sunlight that was peaking on her face, is it horrible looking? Is her skin too muddy looking?

Can we see an unedited photo? I like the shot, but the editing on the face is not great. And although I love high contrast in B&W, I think this maybe is a little much.

It's a very cute shot, but I agree, the face is way too edited.

Actually the face wasnt edited(except for a peice of hair), thats the light you are seeing that was shining on her face.. heres the SOOC version.

Now I see whats up with the face. I do like the color alot and I'm a big B&W fan. I think now it may just be a contrast thing. It's a keeper shot, so i would work with it. Just a quick conversion on my part gave it a softer look. It may give you some ideas. If you want, I can take it off.

That does look better Thanks for playing!

I tried these,are they any better?

I like the first one. The warmth is nice. Nice job. Did you give it a little Gaussian Blur? And which B&W conversion are you using?
