Eolake Stobblehouse thoughts: BW Portrait Contest, results

You'll find me under runner-ups: Neil G.

There's some great portraits on there; my personal favourite I think is the one labelled "By Izzy".

I agree that the "By Izzy" pic is incredibly strong! I actually prefer it over both of the winners.

I remember your pic from here, but wasn't it in color? Or am I mis-remembering?

You're right - I posted it here before in colour. I did the black and white version for the competition, after tinkering enough that I preferred it to the colour original (apart from the loss of the blue eyes).

i really like your picture...it looked good in color, and in BW...

and yeah, that Izzy picture definately conveys more emotion than the first two..i dont really care for the 1 place winner

The blue eyes are stunning in the color version! The B&W has wonderful emotion and sweetness to it. That single tear just breaks my heart!
