Thank you for your comment, Len. I think I agree although the B&W is
not as strong and yet it's pleasing to me at the same time.

I remember someone saying that in B&W you see the person, in color you
see their clothes. In these two images I think the darkness eradicates
that distinction. It's certainly her personality showing! Losing 130
pounds can do that for you!
