Lovely portrait here Rekha, i like what you have done here. The extra noise addition and black and white really rocks. I did similar effects on my portraits a few days back in my fashion series, and it was cool. I see we both have kinda same border styles too. ;-)

Hi Re..excellent post-processing! Great job on the b&w and I agree with Rahul - the noise is what gives this photo character!

p.s. sorry haven't been p-blogging much, but your other pics are great, too! Is this self-portrait, by the way? Cheers...

@{H} creatives: Thanks for the support, Creatives. Is this a self-portrait?? well...
Shuva Brata Deb from Hyderabad, Australia
I agree with Rahul, except the border part for which my take is that borders are very very important for presentation and frames, but not for photo-blogging. But thats my take.

@Shuva Brata Deb: U have a point. In fact rest of my pics so far are totally un modified. Right from my fone cam, to the blog :)

Beautiful image. I like the grain effect here. It works very well and gives the image an individualistic style.
