This was shot at Urbana Farmers Market on 09th Sept, 2006, late

morning. The only manipulations are a little cropping from the left

and a little toning. All your critiques are welcome.

Brilliant lady and great contrast with the sales person :)

And like your previous b&w uploads, it could use deeper tones and higher contrast.

Karina, there should be a little check box stating a ``Critique Only'' option right on the page which you need to complete while requesting a critique for a picture. Regarding the contrast: I tried, but I think I lose details on the shoulder of the salesgirl, and also perhaps on the lady's face; regarding deeper tones: do you think caucasian skin tones are deeper than this?

Olaf, I'm glad you like it.

Best regards to both of you.

Thanks.

About the tones. I guess it depends on what you are used to. I always increase the contrast with my b&w pictures. Not always the whole image, mostly only those areas that are a bit flat.
