Apparently there is some quality loss on those pictures.

For me, B&W
The skin just looks better IMHO.

I know, i like B&W better too... the picture was just too boring with normal colors and when i boosted it all up i couldnt adjust the skin color to how it should be... and i still dont know how to do it.

I like b&w, I might have used some soft boxes to get more even light fill around the upper body and neck and correct some of those other shadows.

Legs!


I mean, legs in b&w and arms in color. Take a look at her right arm, there are 2 or 3 different shades from her hand up to her upper arm.

(((in the b&W photo)))

I know and you are right... The lighting is all weird... i dont have a softbox i might order one but i will have to use it on-camera with speedlite and that might not be good :/

Did it ever cross your mind that "IRONLEGS" in the corner of a photo of a model looks rather .. misleading .

Like the soft greens and browns in the back ground but overall prefer the BW version.

I prefer the colour version. The background is not so full of colour that it distracts in any way. The bw is nice but for me has to much contrast for a photo that I personally think looks better with the lesser contrast the colour version has

The model looks better in the B&W, but the background is much much better contextualized in color.
As a whole, I prefer the color version more.

Thats it... I got the same feelings, i like the color one cause of the BG and the BW cause of the model... ah with proper lighting equipment it would have been so much easier

In color her legs particularly look rather gray, something seems off and both might need some adjustments; I wonder how the original exposure was. Her feet are barely in the frame too, might have helped to have a little more space.
