I don't know how the color version looks (although I can have some idea because the photos of this time that my mother keeps in her shoe box of photos, he he), but definitely this B&W is very good. Nice how the fine detail have been preserved, and smoothy skin texture too.

You are right about the overcast day. That's why I like this in B&W much better than the color version. It was a scanned shot of a 5x7 I had in my old shoe box of photos. The colors had gotten funky with age and the sky just didn't look good even when the jeans and skin tone did. Good observation Henry!

Nicely done lots to like in this photo, If I am right the shot was taken late afternoon on a slightly overcast day. You had the ability to put your model at ease nice relaxed photo.

Yep, that hair is definitely 1974. I can tell that you had it(photography) from the beginning
