Hi Guys, I am new in this forum and this is my first post. Last week I discover this site via Youtube and when I check out the site and forum I knew that I can learn a lot from you guys… Here’s a photo I took sometimes back. Critique and comments are welcome

(TOP) It is Haryanvi dress (People who live in Rajasthan, India), though the model is my friend. Canon 60D | 1/512 | F/5 | 250ISO

(BELOW) Haryanvi women. Canon 60D | 1/166 | F/5 | 200ISO

Welcome to the forum, siamnaulak! 

Very interesting portraits! I think I like the first one in color more. I like the second on too, but blow out highlights on your clothes bother me a bit. Did you shoot this in raw. I wonder if you could recover some highlights.

I actually like it in color more. 

B&W is not bad, but you need to control separate parts of the image when converting them into B&W. What program do you use?

Mostly I used Photoshop and Lightroom. For this I think it is Photoshop.

Lightroom has a number of Black and White presets.
I like “B&W Look 4” for portraits.
Then make some slider adjustments to taste in the Basic panel.
You will probably have to reduce contrast.

Hi Mandrake, is this ‘B&W Look 4’ available in Lightroom 3? If yes, where can I find?

Siam… I’m not familiar with Lightroom 3, and don’t really know the presets.

Take a look and try the different ones that you have and see which you like best.

Presets in Lightroom can be a good starting point, but after setting a preset I would play with sliders.
