Experimenting with my girlfriend....

[beanbag]

.....so I thought I might try out some B&W photography with my girlfriend.... I hope you like the result. Needs a bit of work since I edited it in about 5 minutes and I want to pay more attention to the detail but let me know what you think for now and i'll put the final version on once I have time to play with the photo.

Good starting point but I'd like to see her eye more open, and a different colour, maybe blue.

I thought the same about the more open eye......however I wanted to emphasize the original eye colour. It's amazing how different it looks when the rest of the photo is B&W, but i'll definately give it a go!

Here's the very first one I did quite a while back....quite a tough shot since it was my eye and I was holding the camera with my hand while taking the photo!!!

Sure! It's probably gobbling up my bandwidth too

Just added....my laptop at work is playing silly games so I'll have to resize back home....

I think you will find it is the mad rush to this thread considering the title

I hoped it might help attract a little attention

You've got the depth of field right. Try shooting from a little higher up so she's looking up at you rather than looking down her nose that should help raise her upper eyelid a bit too.

Did some more experimenting last night but couldn't get the lighting right this time. I actually took the last photo with candlelight which probably gives it a very warm feel.

I'll try again tonight, plus I'll see if I can get that final version completed!!

Cheers for your comments though!
