thanks all. i know y'all are getting bored of these but too bad ! lol
geoff, the PP for that shot is on my flikr page. i havent applied any GB or softening. that softened look on the skin happens whenever i do a high(r) key B+W conversion usng the yellow or orange channel for the mono. if i choose the red or green chanel, there is alot more texture in the skin.
interesting to me is that i hate the colour version but people seem to prefer it. maybe i have an unhealthy fetish for mono. lol
