[Leica] IMG: New Studio BW portrait

[Jay Burleson]

I did notice the selective b&w of the eyes - nice touch.
I agree with Ted on the lighting, but understand your explanation.
With this model & her hair done that way, she could stand a little more 
of a chin up pose, making the forehead less prominent & prone to 
clipping, along with balancing the face.
