Great portrait! Congrats.

Thank you very much Antanas and Andre

I prefer the b&w, but it's true that lately I feel very attracted to b&w images. This version seems more dreamy and soft.

Thank you Sabina . Sometimes it's very hard for me to tell what I like better , b&w or color . This is one of this times :)

LOL. I too have been attracted to a lot of bw lately so I have to say this is best! I think the tones here accentuate her face better.Wonderful image.

Thanks Joseph , Appreciated :)

Not a lot to say but thank you for sharing and setting the standard yet again.

Alon-- I, too, prefer the black and white. The image just seems to want that softer and more classic treatment. What a wonderful expression you've achieved and enhanced with the dof and your lighting and sensitivity. It is so expressive of the softness and beauty of a child. One comment: in your conversion to black and white, I notice that you have lost a bit of light and detail in the bottom eye. That is the one thing I prefer about the color version. Assuming you work with photoshop, I think a different manner of converting or a little play with levels might bring that eye back and make this a superior image. --Fred
