I'm a big monochrome fan and these are great.
The first one is a stunner.

Not sure about the face outline on the last one though.
Looks 'cut-out'

Great subject matter ideal for this type of conversion

You okay Automaton? These look almost normal

You okay Automaton? These look almost normal

Just what I was thinking
They are good, but as you know, I'm a fan of your 'original' full colour processing It's interesting to see what your subjects look like without all the post processing though

I like them, but the rasta man always looks dead/beheaded/ or has a 'just been shot' look which i don't like, the others are great though, first is fav

I like the first one a LOT. Others are good too - B&W may well suit you Auto.

 

[Fangman]

A great series of mono - suits the subjects well.
