Really beautiful shot and love the tone and feel of the colour you have added. I used to do this in the old days by hand-painting black and whites with watered down food colouring.

Thanks Jelb. I forgot to mention this is actually shot with B&W (Tmax 800) film. I used photoshop to give it some color. First time i do this and i kinda like it. Let me know what you think!

Very nice portrait.

I like the way that your model plays with you.

Your use of photoshop is beyond any critism as i think that you give us exactly what you want.An old time colour photo.i don't know how you do this but you do it well.
