Whirlwind tresses.

This is a very different shot than your others. Here, her smile is very engaging and natural. She was not so reserved in front of the camera, and the result is wonderful. The B&W works extremely well here. Very nice job. David

Critiques and ratings welcome.

Thanks so much, friend and mentor.

Very nice photo and model.

She is fantastic! What a smile!

 

Do you shoot raw or not? If you shoot raw keep the original safe. You'll enjoy working on it. If you don't shoot raw please start at the very earliest.

 

A crop suggestion -- no way meant to belittle this fine portrait, just another friendly viewpoint...

Nice portrait. Best Regards.

I really like the beautiful smile of this lovely girl, Calvin. Excellent b/w portrait! Congrats!

Calvin, excellent portrait. My preference is B & W version, though the other one is equally good. Her smile is enchanting, but her 'whirlwind tresses' are more attractive.Cropping, exposure, tones are superb.

Thanks, Bob.

Rajat, I do shoot in RAW because that's what I was taught to do, although I'm still not aware of the exact advantages. Heh.

 

Thanks for the alternative viewpoint. I'm guessing you found the hair swirl a bit distracting?

Much obliged, Andrey.

I appreciate your comments, David O. I'm always in your debt.

A.K., thank you for your generous comments.

Beautiful in B&W too, lovely smile, very well done.
