One of my tests for a successful colour photo is to convert it to B&W and see which works better. This is unquestionably a Colour photo with a capital "C". Well done. If you were going to shoot my portrait right now, I'd insist you use b&w to avoid that pink cast I seem to have acquired. Thanks for the kind words, guys. It's one of the oldest shots in my collection - done in about 1974 using a Pentax MX with a 24, on Kodachrome 64. I've done Cibas and internegs of it in the past, and frankly, the recent scan and inkjet print does a better job of preserving the colo(u)rs, saturation and contrast of the original. BTW - it was shot without a filter of any sort - Kodachrome almost seemed to have a built-in polarizer in some circumstances.
