Black and white is perfect for this picture. Nice one.
David de Groot said: Thanks Michelle :) Not bad for a candid shot really, obviously if it were a proper portrait I'd have move some stuff around to make the shadows fall exactly where I wanted them, etc, etc...

Its a great picture David!
I'm in the middle of covering my 2 daughters books as they are too lazy too learn how to do it!
David de Groot said: The boys' school is now doing a different scheme whereby the books are delivered to school and we don't need to cover them. However, Kara is in high school so she still has books to cover, and being artistic, she's happy to do it herself (which is good, 'cause Lea and I are definitely totally over the book covering thing).

This image is so good. Looks like from an old suspense flick.
David de Groot said: It is a bit "film noir" isn't it ? That's the hard light and b&w of course. Better costuming, etc would complete the picture.

nice shot, the hard light is quite effective
somehow Kara looks quite different here to in your other shots of her, but perhaps because you surprised her
David de Groot said: Lighting can make such a huge difference to a scene. I've been having a puddle of late and as you've noticed it really can be a dramatic difference.
