Strictly B&W, A4, Faces, Spunk

[MontyHellier]

I'm interested to see if I can get this thread off the ground, and what other people come up with.

Note that it is distinct from the excellent "Facial Portraits" thread in terms of its strictness and aims. No other part of the woman's body should be visible, the images should be black and white, and should be in A4 size when printed (and yes, printing, and even framing, the images, is very much in mind, hence the size - it's easy to get frames ).

I've got a couple of them around my flat at the moment and I love them - I just need to remember to take them down before certain people visit . I don't think any of my previous girlfriends would have been too happy with pictures like these on the wall, so it's a bit of a guilty pleasure at the moment while I'm single .

I've found that making the image black and white does reduce the turn-on effect slightly (which is good for this purpose), and makes the eye look for other detail in the picture.

The decisions about how to crop and resize and adjust the tone are all quite interesting too, for anyone that wants to take up the challenge and turn their favourite facial into a nicely composed study . (though I've found that the cumshot pics that turn me on, and the ones that make great portraits, are often very different).

The attached image was my first effort and I think it's the best example yet I've come up with in terms of quality, composition and interest.

Any takers?
