Default Yet another B&W portrait...

I was taking some candids at a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago... far from ideal situation, with lots of people around in the background and huge, sun-drenched windows surrounding everything. But it was just for a record.

I managed to catch a few shots of her dad that converted nicely to high-contrast black and white. Even though you can see the glare from the window, this is my favourite. I think it shows what a beautiful, sweet and gentle man he is.

Good shot, a very nice portrait. Try to reduce the blacks...i think you might have overdid that a little bit, and also try to make this portrait look sepia, that would be pretty nice too.
