Challenge: Black and White Portrait II (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Goose Creek, SC
Date: Jan 7, 2007
Aperture: f/4.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30
Galleries: Portraiture, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jan 7, 2007

 Crop, New Layers from channels and varied the opacity. Burned some of the shine off the tip of my nose, healed a spot or two, resized, SFW.

Not sure how this one will do, as I have done no portrait shots before, much less in B&W. Every day is a learning experience, though. I know that dark pictures don't normally do to well here, but I hope to get some really constructive comments on this one. We'll see. :)

Good lighting. The right cheek looks a bit overexposed, though. Some fill light on the left side would compress the range of tones some without loosing the dramatic quality of the light.
