firstly, you look gorgeous! I love both, but the colour one shows the blue of your eyes, so i prefer it... but I think the skin tone might be a degree too warm? So I'd go with the colour one on a slightly, (only slightly) cooler spectrum? It looks very well reduced on your side bar, the black top is a nice contrast. She's a really good photographer!
I vote for the black and white. It looks timeless and you look like a movie star. People will line up for your autograph with this black and white one.
Oooh, I'm going to go against the grain here Louise. I love black and white photos - this one is gorgeous! But, I think the colour one is stunning - the colours are so warm, and your eyes are such a lovely colour - I think some of this is lost in the b&w one. Sorry if I've gone and confused things. Both are lovely, so whichever one you choose will be fab!
I love them both! Was originally going for the colour shot but think if you want me to be really picky that Niamh is right - if you could slightly cool down the skin colour it would be absolutely perfect. Hear you on the Crime Writer but just had a quick look at the back of some books on my bookshelf and they're half and half. I thought you'd had them professionally done - really good :o)
Yes, they are both gorgeous, really glamourous looking! I thought at first black and white but I really do love the warmth of the colour one, your hair and eyes really shine in it so it wins by me on a tiny margin!
Louise, seriously great pictures! It's great to see a pic of you that shows how gorgeous you are! I know I'm a horrible suck up, but it's true :)) I vote for the black and white, but only cuause you're writing crime, as both are just lovely!
I love them both, but I think the black and white fits the color scheme of your blog...and I am partial to bw shots. :-) You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Krystal - the more I look at them, the more I agree with you. I think the b&w is also good for a crime writer profile?
ReplyDeleteWowser Louise, they are both so beautiful, I love the colour one.
ReplyDeleteBest
Michelle
She's a great photographer!
ReplyDeleteB and w brings out character lines.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white, Baby!
ReplyDeleteThanks JC & Kat - sorry for not being more in touch - I've had my head down in manuscript 2 for the last while:)
ReplyDeleteBlack and white for a crime writer is perfect! Great photos:)

ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm a Black and White anorak anyway!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brigid!
ReplyDeleteNiamh - yes she is a REALLY GOOD Photographer, and she had an awful model, couldn't stay still to save my life!
Yeah Dave - B&W is winning out so far:)
I vote for the black and white. It looks timeless and you look like a movie star. People will line up for your autograph with this black and white one.
ReplyDeleteB/W
ReplyDeleteLooks like the B&W is winning by a landslide on both blog and twitter. Thanks Stephen & Helen. Anyone for the colour one???

ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous! Sexy writer!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls-oh gosh it is going to b hard to decide:) But both are good, do either way it should be fine
ReplyDeleteYes, they are both gorgeous, really glamourous looking! I thought at first black and white but I really do love the warmth of the colour one, your hair and eyes really shine in it so it wins by me on a tiny margin!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's hard. Looked a lot, and I think the B and W is more atmospheric, and more 'real' somehow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the photographer - great shots!
Black and white for me Louise - but both great shots.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
