I took this shot to fast without checking my settings , resulting in a very under exposed shot!
Luckily i shot this in RAW and my PP program witch is Capture NX 2 permitted me to make them better . Not as good as i want them to be but i really like the pose on this one .

Original!

I like the B/W. The noise resultant from processing is much less noticeable. The sepia seems to make the background a little blown out, where in the b/w you still see some detail.

...just my two cents since you asked!! I agree...nice pose and smile!

donno abt others...but personally I like the first one...even though its underexposed...may be bcoz it kept me thinking abt the actual expression of the lady (that includes her eyes of course) untill i saw wat it was...the expression remained beautiful but the element of mystery wasnt there...hehe...glad ye shared...

Thanks Jim ! i thought the processing noise would give the sephia an antique look but i overlooked the highlight.

the b&w looks best. the sepia is a little darkened near the eye. nice pose though
