Lovely photos.
Interesting that you have a color-discrepancy. Perhaps that's why your b&ws are so superior to the color one. I have the opposite problem, my color vision is too sensitive.

Big purchase for my budget. :-)
Not sure what to put on my wish list next :?:

Awesome!!! The second one is my favorite. What kind of lens did you get?

I have been using that same lens almost exclusively on my D5000, and aside from it not being a "fast" lens....it seems to be a great universal choice. The minimum focus distance sometimes irks me, but the range of other shots is pretty broad. For me the next addition to the "arsenal" will be a close-up / macro , to allow for some closer shooting.

Keep up the good work.... I love the black and whites... the approach is novel and you captured them well. I like #2 a little better because I can see her eyes.. but they are all good. Looking to see more from you... Ya did good!

Since you have a color problem with your eyes, it's probably hard for you to tell that #3 is a bit too magenta. It's especially noticable under her eye where the hair is on her face. Try using the color balance on ps5 and reduce the magenta and/or red, then lighten using curves.
Well I don't reallly have any software , I putz around with freebie stuff, But I guess it should be on my wish list.
Do you like this better?
Thanks
The fix
