PS:
Some ceiling lighting may have been in play but the main light source was from windows over the woman's right shoulder and from left front. It is a great corner for these candid portraits. #1469356

Dennis,

Great BW conversion.

The portrait has a retro feeling,
Maybe adding a bit of Sepia or using an old looking scent software ?

Hola CARLA, DAVID, MICHELLE & ARTHUR!!!!

So good to see familiar faces back at the Crèma checking out the customers.

Muchos gracias amigos for the encouragement of your combined feedback.

David: Yes, I thought of that retro lok myself and I will be experimenting with split toning in Lightroom to see how that looks too.
