BW Candid Portrait

After spending some time converting this shot to black and white I finally feel like it's 'just right'. Comments?

I actually haven't shown the model the B/W version. We'll see. Thanks guys. I actually just redid it a touch to bring out some shadow detail in the hair, and contrasted the eyes a little more as well as did a slight crop on it. It think it's a smidge better.

http://www.johnnydanger.net/dgrin/jo2.jpgyo johnny, careful - its getting a little too contrasty now. You may have brought out the hair, but facial features are getting harsh, and you've blown out the cheek highlights. Maybe soften it back up with with some simple shadow/highlight?

It's so easy to "fix" too much, ain't it?

Great shot, candids rock!
