It's a high-key portrait. Look up the technique and method... an accepted artistic phenomenon. There is a method to the madness if you google itI honestly don't understand this.Well done all 3 of you - Colin, that B&W picture is simply superb.
In my opinion, the first image is an ok snapshot, although it's a bit
overblown and framing is not particularly good. The second is a very
nice photo with good colour. But the last one... I just don't
understand why anyone would like to over-expose (in post?) a photo
this much if the subject isn't very critical of her supposed
uglyness. The subject looks nice as she is, so why remove her facial
features? I'd never leave an image looking like this from my hands.
I see, of course, that I am in a minority here, because everyone else
seems to think that the B&W image is great.
Kind regards,
