Black and White with my face on

I got some grief over on Facebook when I posted my B&W self portrait, I was angry, plain, bla bla bla (Okay most of that is nasty self talk but hey). So I give you a new B&W self portrait, with my “face” on. That’s southern girl speak for “I have makeup on”.

 

So far I am really preferring how my camera does B&W over how my editing does it.
