Great series!! Very nicely done! The only thing I would change is perhaps some skin-tone correction in PS.

thanks for the comments everybody...

Depth... what is the best way to go about correcting skin tones? the color ones all seem a little washed out to me too. any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks.

I LOVE 1 and in particular, 7... what cuties.... all are great shots in my opinion! xx Learner question..... did you shoot 7 in b&w or convert in Photoshop..?? Beautiful tones...my b&w are so ordinary??? Don't know what I'm doing wrong???

i always convert later in PS. the color version was way off, really yellow, just because it was taken with available indoor light with the 50mm/1.8. Maybe that enriched the b&w... i'm not sure. I have been messing with my b&w's for 6 months because i have the "ordinary" problem too. keep at it, you'll get it. This one was just a straight conversion to b&w with maybe some level adjustments, but there are other ways that give you a lot of control over the final image.
