It is a rain drop?
I am amazed that it is so spheric, great shot, as usual Noely!

For me the second one looks natural but not the first, maybe too much posed. The second is more dynamic and interesting.

I like the atmosphere and the “tradition” implied.
The pose of your son is good, but one can think that he is being bored from waiting… maybe I would try with only one hand below the chin.

Nice drawing of the curves. I like the second one for the expression and the pose of the right hand.
Just three details that I note: the crop is either too much or not enough, as the elbowe are cut for a mm; the left hand is a bit pressed in the skin and the hair that comes over the ear.
Well done anyway, the light is very nice!

Thanks a lot for your compliments!

I was not so sure about the hair as I find them a bit “untiddy”, but I like them a lot as well.

Thank you Simon and Ross!
I will have a look at your posts of Delta again.

The diagonal, yes, I like it as well.
But, IMO, the left part does not bring much to the photo and I would see a 2 cm crop of it, just to bring the left breast more to the third than in the center.
The light is nice with good relief and sharpness.

Maybe contrarely to previous ones, I really like the third photo.
This silhouette has something powerful and with the pose, it makes me more think of a cinema poster.
First one is classical art nude and very well done.

I must say that I am not too surprised that the newer technology did not eek more.
I prefer the second one, which is your first one, for the darker tones and somewhat prefer the crop one the “new” one.
I had already remarked that our “processing” of a picture changes with the time, depending on our emotions, perceptions, new experiences… well, that can seem normal that we evoluate, but it is interesting to see how.

Concerning the photo; the model pose is so natural and beautiful and the grain of the B&W… it is so great, I just regret that I do not shoot on film anymore, I will take it back quicly !

Superb composition and light, I love the first one particularly!

Hum, I do not see any picture?
Did you remove them already Brandyman, or is there something wrong with my computer?

The post treatment is interesting, though a bit distracting to look at the picture. I mean, mainly because IMO I wonder what it brings to it.
The model is dressed “normally” for today standards so it is not aimed to be an ancient picture. Please, give us your feeling/goals.
On the first one, the hands tight go well with the expression.
The second one seems to me a bit gray, as if whites were missing and I think that would crop just a a centimeter higher.

My first impressions are that the expression is really good, which is the most important in a portrait and makes it a nice shot.
But a little a problem; the lines are leaning down to the right.
