Gotta be the best looking miner I have ever seen Neil !!
And I presume you mean Charlotte back from Edinburgh tomorrow ?
She picked the busiest and most expensive time of the year with the Festival being on.
But perhaps that's what the youngsters like I suppose !!

The natural grasses only enhance the spirit of this super portrait. She has a touch of the Mona Lisa smile. Ever so calm and serene. Lovely! TG

A so very beautiful portrait which highlights the models beauty quite superbly. The expression on her face, stirs up many a feeling of wonder, with so many possible narratives.

Quite right to leave that grass in Neil, it does focus on the eyes very well. Beautiful mono portrait.

A beautiful model beautifully photographed, Neil. The b&w conversion works well as the grasses do not distract as much as they would in colour, but add to the framing perfectly.
I would be interested to see a version without her hand there, just her face...
