[Leica] Eric's latest from July

[durling at cox.net (Mike Durling)]

Hi Eric,

FWIW I think I like the color version better.  The black and white one 
is a bit too contrasty.  It might just be my LCD screen, but look at the 
area under your daughter's left eye.  In the B&W version this area goes 
very dark, while in the color the tones are quite delicate.  Also her 
lips go very dark in the B&W.  You might want to work on it a little 
with the channel mixer to get the tones right.

In any case it is an extraordinarily nice image!  The people, their 
expressions, and the lighting come together beautifully.
