My first try at B/w Conversions

OK I did these all by hand ( with the help of Kelby) LOL. It was fun, we were all just playing on the bed in my room when DH came home..he plunked himself on the bed, and the kids just went nuts!

Climbing all over him, so I ran and got my camera..and VIOLA! I have noticed the light in my room is pretty nice, but i have never used it before because I have two big windows on either side of the bed, if you look closely you will be able to see both catchlights from both windows :(

What do you think of these? Too much contrast? somedays I think they look a bit on the dark side, other days I like them. I had a hard time with DH's skin tones and Rylee's, his is darker than my fair skinned princess, and if I got his looking good then she was totally blown... any suggestions on that?
