Hi Lonnit. Before I say anthing, I see all 26 shades on that scale thingie and you must be pooped from re-editing but you did a really great job with both photos. As for the extra comments if I may, The face shadows are just right, not too dark or too light. But as in the color version of your photo, the shadows which hid the upper and lower torso and thighs where darker(less revealing). Perhaps a little of selective editing can help? and to quote Rod

OK, I'm done! Any complaints of darkness hiding the legs or completely blacking out the face (face should be just barely visable) are all due to individual monitor differences. :) ~ Lonnit
