Here are some more of same model and setting--some speak to the responses and some just to show to variety that can come from just one raw image. Again, please just respond with your vision--regardless of how old a dog I am I'm always trying to learn new things--it is the reason I'm here.

The tonality of the last image works for me. My favorite, however you are the creator. So which one you like the best?

That is the question! I, among other things, am a lousy editor--as soon as I commit to one I'm sure I have the wrong one. I guess I sort of gravitate to the unusual--lots of people think I crop too tight so I try to goober the top in the other direction. In this case I suppose I lean toward the high key one and the last one.

Great transition in tonal values, good emphasis on curves.

At times color is a distraction. The tonal contrasts to be found using black and white can make a tell a greater story. I particularly enjoy the third one most alluring. The deep black and grey tones create mystique.

For overall I enjoy the darker B&W (and how it kind of hides the lower glob of matted pubic hair) although first B&W is nice too. However, where I did not like the "mysterious hand" in the original color shot, now not totally crazy about the missing right shoulder with too little of a hand there in new pose. But these are improvements over first editions and thank you for posting. We all learn with you.

I like the color, because of the harmony and the human likeness.
"For overall I enjoy the darker B&W" Yes, I agree with that, it is artistic and film-noir like.
Regarding, "lower glob of matted pubic hair" Walter Cronkite would say, "... and that's the way it is."

Too close to call a favorite. They all work in their own way. Thanks for posting them.

I like them all. That said, the first and last take the prizes.

Actually, your lighter B&W here could be one of the best. It's the high key end of the tonal range. Nothing is blown out. I like it.

#2 body scape is most interesting to me... and a maybe a comb, only because the unruly snarl attracts undue attention.
