Hi all. This is my Daughter Kirsty

She came home the other night as me and my better half had just taken the last photo I uploaded of myself.(Me Practice Light).
So we took these.
All comments and feedback welcomed.

No problem. If they were mine, I'd leave 3 out and put them in the order of 2, 1 & 4.

Thanks.

Great subject!

Not so keen on 3. I'd be tempted to boost the contrast a bit if they were mine but thats just my tastes!

Good work Gaz

She'd make a great model for some gritty on location portraits with some direct ocf.

Many thanks Shaheed. TBH I went with a softer look as I quite liked the effect on these but to be fare I seldom take mono photos. I use a Canon camera and the B/W preset was set to plus 3 for contrast a bit strong for my liking.
Looking through the images I took, there was one without the reflector as I was showing Kirsty the differance. This was way more contrasty/moody I have lifted the contrast a touch though.

Can't add anything that is not been said.

I prefer more contrasty mono but that's my preference and here I think #2/4 are absolutely excellent.

I can't believe you have been visited by Santa already best not tell my girls. Tantrums abound.

Given her facial jewellery I would tend to agree with Shaheed and Tintin that a bit more contrast would be beneficial.
