Very nice! I'm not fond of the yellow cast overly, but that's purely personal. I think the highlights on the image-left side of her left forearm and face could be dropped slightly (and by that I mean maybe 1/3 stop), but other than that, I like this. Nice expression, and great eyes!

it's just an edit I did. I save the original as well. I can give it other BW tones to bring down the yellow. thanks for the 2 quilos...(cents in Spanish)

Yes, definitely burn down the hand/wrist/forearm zone, and knock the forehead's brightness down a tiny bit too. I like her eye direction and stuff quite a bit, but the deck railing and the support posts behind her are a bit eye-catching. The light in her eyes in nice though. Although it would be a bit of a hassle, I think cloning out the railing and posts on the left would reallllly notch this one up!

Thanks Derrel.
Plan on working on other BW edits. If anyone wants to give it shot go right ahead

My eyes never made it off of her face. I love it! She's very pretty! Then I read Derrel's critique, went back and looked again, and I see how the arm is brighter than the rest of the capture.

I did the same thing! LOL

I tried a warm sort of vintage V&W look, seen above. I cloned out that tree trunk (?) in the upper left in both.

The JPEG doesn't have the needed bit depth for a really good edit. Here's my interpretation of a classic Kodak neutral-tone B&W look.
