and here are my own personal tips on choosing a photo to get the best black and white edit...
1. Lighting is important. If you have some dramatic lighting going on in the photo, it will work really well for a black and white.
2. Texture, not just in the clothing, but in the scenery. When you have different "textures" in the photo, it adds a perfect contrasting effect in the photo. However, if you have too much going on in the background, it can seem confusing to the viewer.
3. Finally, Angle. Angle adds interest to the subject when you are shooting and when you combine the lighting, textures and creative angle all into one photo, you can get a stunning & dramatic black & white photo.
Thanks for looking!!

Well done! Wonderful shot1
Great tips Lenora! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like you planned this to be black and white, and that is the best kind of b&w. Your tips are wonderful, unfortunately for b&w "white balance was off" is usually the reason it gets used, when it has so much to offer and is LOVELY when used correctly.
Thank you for the tip!
Very nice.. and I think a lot of your readers will appreciate the additional tips!
