    Oh, yes! I like these! She is a beauty, alright. The eyes and those natural red lips only a young one can have. For a little beauty her age, I think these suit her so much better. Thank you for sharing!

    Just great. She is a beauty. I prefer your black & white photos. I feel that the nice colours distract from
    neatly composed photos. That is only my opinion.
    Cheers Ole

    The last pic (colored version) should be enlarged/framed and matted and hanging on your wall!!
    All of the photos are excellent it's just the color and those wonderful eyes with that expression make that shot POP!!

    The colour ones are fine, but, for me, the B & Ws capture the character and 'soul' so much more. I'm no portraitist, but these give me enormous pleasure. Beautiful pics.

    Thank you Donald, I too find that when I look at black and white everything is stripped down to essence of the subject. I love to work in B&W and find that every image I take I convert it to see if it looks better in mono (which to me invariably does).
