Here are a couple of shots I took of my young model this summer. I do like the B&W medium for these type of portraits, it just seems like it just works better for me. Please feel free to give your opinions and suggestions. These were both shot with a Nikon D-3100 and a Tamron 18-270mm zoom.........
78mm, 1/320s, f5.6, ISO 200

Beautiful young lady very well lit. The B&W certainly does work for me as wll. As strickly personal note, I think the hand is distracting...a close crop of just the face would work well, too, IMHO. Very fine shot and exposure! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Agree with the hands being sorta distracting... Her facial is so flawless and perfect with those also perfect pearly whites.... What a model she could be. !!!

I found the hand distracting in the first one but not in the second.
I like them. Well done.

Beautiful, good for you!..Many people are going to B&W portraits,they can be very dramatic! It is more then just hitting a conversion button also,that is why many don't work! These are good!

I think these are all superb portraits Coco. The images with the hand add a sense of mischievousness or even mystery, for example; why is she hiding or coming from behind the door? Whereas the portrait sans hand is a completely different photo. I like them all, the B&W treatment, composition & exposure. Well done! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks again to all. I just shoot what's in front of me and when she agreed to model for me I figured if I can't get some good shots with her to work with I never will. Hopefully can get out and get somemore with the fall colors but she is very active in sports and school activities so I kind of have to fit in whenever. I have some indoor shots that I've seen that I think will work good with her during the winter months.............

I like #1, and the hands to me, were perfect.
The lightening was just right.
#2 i found a bit washed out.
