girl portrait in Retro style / #club100

Post goes for week 138 of WoX Portrait and Art contest run by @axeman

Yesterday I had a meeting with my old friend, she have obtained a pioneer Canon 4000D camera, and I had some fun playing with it, took some test photos with said camera and simplest Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. No other gear or studio lighting was involved. To create a retro setting, I used a men's fedora and a cigarillo - which turned out my acquaintance into a noir-style emancipe woman .... well, at least I hope the effect looks like so )))))

Вчера я встречался со своей знакомой, и сделал несколько тестовых фотографий на ее пионерскую камеру Canon 4000D. Для создания ретро-обстановки я использовал мужскую фетровую шляпу и сигариллу - получилась женщина эмансипе в стиле нуар.... ну, во всяком случае, я на это надеюсь )))))

Below is original colour photo, as the camera saw it, without any editing; the blue-eyed blonde with a moon-shaped face in the black and white version of course loses some of her features, but ... for me, the black and white version is more preferable. What the respected public will say?

_{Canon 4000D | lens 50mm | f 1.6 | t 1/200 | ISO 200}

Голубоглазая блондинка с луно-образным лицом в черно-белой версии конечно теряет некоторые свои черты, но... для меня черно-белая версия предпочтительнее. А что скажет уважаемая публика?
