This one is only B&W conversion, again done in Lightroom. Lightroom is a very good tool for B&W conversion: it offers independent control on all primary and secondary colours. You can find tune tonality of B&W just as you like. I was able to obtain exactly the greys that I wanted. For me, the next best thing after the chemical B&W.
Lens is always the Planar 1.4/85.

Nice portraits Orio. The B&W conversion is great too.

I like the B&W conversion.
Does the Lightroom have, Orio, more choises to play with than the CS3?

Thanks for all comments.
I don't have CS3, I jumped from CS2 to CS4. Compared to the Black and White module of CS4, Lightroom has two more colour sliders: Orange and Purple.
Orange is especially useful as it lets you control the skin tone independently from the use of yellow-red (which may influence other important objects such as dresses or hair).
But Purple too has some use with some fair skinned people. And a lot of use for flowers.
So the answer is yes, Lightroom gives some more option for B&W conversion compared to basic Photoshop.
Of course, Photoshop can then use a lot of plugins...
