Great portrait! Very kind and nice work! With respect, Valentyn

A very effective photograph, in my opinion. A captivating face. As I look at it, it seems like the fourth wall is completely absent. The black wide frame around the picture works really well in this case. The tonality isn't great though. You shot this in color and obtained a grayscale version by mixing the channels in post-production. If the original is a RAW file then MAYBE richer tones can be achieved using a different mix. If you were trying to give it a washed-out look (as you emphasized the red channel) - it isn't washed-out enough. To be successful at that you'd have to actually overexpose at the shooting stage. You shouldn't mind the criticism as I'm sure you'll get mostly positive comments. I am yet to be swayed by any given DSLR when it comes to producing grayscale photographs. That is the reason I still shoot on BW film using the old-school color filters to obtain the desired tonality.

Regards.

Wouldn't change a thing.

I get caught by the expression of her eyes. Great portrait of a beautiful girl.

You can make the old film users happy by adding a grain filter--then they are right at home.

For me, I wouldn't change a thing.
