Thanks! Here are the originals. Which is better?

I REALLY like the black and white...selective color either looks great, or cheezy (IMHO), and these are great.

The full color shots are nice, but don't have the same feel. I'd use the B&W as portfolio fill, and let the client pick what they like better - as they're both good.

Only critique is that the 2nd color shot doesn't seem to "pop" as much. I'm not sure if it's sharpness or contrast. You might try doing the USM contrast trick I just read about in post processing.

I like selective color eye stuff... hope you don't mind, popped em a little..

Will you post the images in just black and white? I'm personally not a fan of selective color. It really all depends on the picture. In this particular case, I think you've taken away with what is a beautiful portrait of a very beautiful girl, and a really awesome b&w conversion.

Sure, Bryan!

I like the color in your original post. Its subtle. It doesnt have that alien eyeball thing that most selective colored eyes have.

[Disney Chick]

Thanks, Holly. I prefer them subtle, too.

Ditto the ditto's ditto. And the capture captures the subtle beauty of the beauty quite well.

Thanks Peter. LOL

The first image with a hint of selective color is the best of those, but your first original really captures her beauty -- very nice image.
