... if thats what you were after. Lol.

Yuri, you know we all like your posts. Mostly because you do photograph beautiful women. You also have a good technique to process faces. However, I have noticed this on numerous times your B&W conversions are strage for the better word. I cannot explain it or detect why they turn the way that do. It must be a plugin or some technique you are using.

Here is a very simple conversion.
My aim here was to:
* keep the tonal range,
* keep the face nice and smooth
* retain the nature of the soft flowing hair

Here is your conversion for direct comparison.

Please remember this is not to take away anything from your photo which I think is fantastic. This is to encourage you to work on B&W technique :rolleyes

This photo was very simple to process as it was an excellent capture in the first place. All I did is contrast adjustment and some selective sharpeaning.

Mostly I just tried to get rid of the braclet that someone pointed out was distracting... here is my five minutes at her.

Paper Grade = Grade 3 - Special
Color Tone = Bromoil
