Laryssa In B&W

Joanie... I'm not sure of your intent, but the photo is uniformly hazy with lack of contrast. Those gorgeous eyes need to receive more attention. I've attached an example of my thoughts with black point and lighting level adjustments, along with some selective burning and dodging. If you don't like it, I'll be glad to remove. Regardless, an eye catching image... Mike

Note that I am on an uncalibrated monitor right now and the contrast is hard to judge. I hope my intent comes through.
