Give me your thoughts on composition, lighting and overall quality of this shot, thanks.

It seems a little too dark for my taste. But I like the composition.

The hairclip is too distracting.

 

[mJs]

personally i too find it a bit dark, and flat

 

[edouble]

I agree. This is my first b&w and it isn't the best b&w conversion.

If you were going for a tin-type look then :thumbup:

Yeah, it is just a little too dark, and the hairpin is definitely distracting.
I think lightening it a bit (though probably not this much) and removing the hair pin is a good call.

I agree that the hairpin is distracting. Anybody have B&W tips?

I agree... I really like it... Especially if it were a bit lighter.
