 Mainly I used optikvervelab to convert this one because it was very noisy being taken at 1600 ISO. Usually though I use Channel Mixer with my b/w.

Very nice lighting and composition; great job capturing the essence of childhood. My only nitpick are the vertical reflections, but it's only a minor thing.

Edit: I wasn't clear above... the reflections add some nice texture to the background but are just a bit bright and pull my eye from your subject.

Your choice of areas to highlight are amazing. I love how parts of her just pop out of the darkness. She looks so innocent, especially while holding the toy. This scene makes you wonder what she is thinking while sitting there all alone in the dark.

Nice low key. I like the little bit of glow from the light.

OhMY! Who is this little girl. She is story book beautiful, and I am in love with how you shot and processed this. The light on her hair and face and the teddy bear give her an angelic glow.

Is it my imagination, or does she look like you???? I didn't think you had a daughter, but maybe. She looks so much like you.

This is simply amazing. Excellent tones, composition, blur, lighting every this is simply perfect. IMO, this is the best from you in this series.

I'd like to know your process for doing this. Light painting? Dodging and burning in photoshop?

Would like to see a bit more light on her face. Maybe dodge the face a bit. As it is now, my eye is drawn more to her toy than her face.

Lovely low key - I really like the way the verticals are illuminated, and the very soft light on her face and her stuffed toy.
