Painted Lady Study 2.6

This started as full color and it just struck me that it might look

good, maybe better in B&W. Having done little B&W work, it would be

most helpful for me to know how this shot falls on others' eyes.

Thanks for any comments.

Perhaps you could still try slight S- curve on curves, or local contrast enhancement with dodge/burn- tools. But as background is grayish, main subject has many dark tonal values and secondary subject is light, they do not actually compete with each others. Quite good, I'd say. No ratings, as I do not them anymore. a s l a

Oh, and of course, try toning; it may give a whole new look to photo!
