Flipping Gorgeous Stuff Wendell. I'm currently speechless.
Love it!

The conversions are very nice Wendell, even if they do lack grain.

I must say, I think their skin is too smooth for the look and I think #3 is nice but the composition's framing kills it for me.

My choices are #1 and #4.

#1, #2 and #4 for me. Very clean and elegant outcome from the conversions. I love a good black and white when it's done properly.

All nice shots Wendell but #1 is the pick for me.

Wendell your work continually evolves and continues to impress the hell out of me

they look sweet!

they even look like they could be 3d renders

Striking images - #1 and #4 are my favourites. In #1 is it my imagination or does the fade-to-black colour of the model's left arm remain every so slightly less dark than the background? If so, awesome!!!!

I like the last two. The skin is kinda smooth, but I like it very much

I'll go against the grain.... #3 all the way

Hi Wendell,
Normally I just like to look, not comment as you are way out of my league.
In this case
#1 WOW
#2 The model's skin is too smooth for my taste. Also, I find the pose disturbing. The hunched over look could read as "I'm tired. When can I go home", but to me it just accentuates the model's skinniness
#3. The reflections in the eyes bother me. Is this an alien?
#4. WOW

Wendell absolutely stunning A B&W Master as well Is there no end to your talent?
What's this against the grain stuff Firsty? I think you and I have it right #3 all the way. It's a knock out!
cheers

The last one is outstanding, well done!

All I can say is WOW!

Hard to go past #1 but eventually I got to look at the others. Then got stuck staring at #4 aswell.

Truely have a Talent!

Silky smooth Wendell as usual. Framing and composition are damm fine as well
Cheers

The conversions and composition are great. I'd like to see a little more attention paid to the overall exposure that your using. In each of these images, you appear to have extended beyond the effective contrast range available to you, resulting in some blown highlights right across the board.

I love how you've kept the shadow detail, and you have a full range of greys, which is all good, but the blown highlights spoil these for me. Pull the main light down by about a stop, and then see how these look.

Awesome work once again......love numbers two and three......WOW!
