I like the higher contrast, but I don't like the blown out highlights, I wanted to keep it soft. But would love any other suggestions. I tried one last crop and think I adjusted a bit more...

Very nice photo Sara. I love the idea behind it. I did attach a version with a screen and level adjustment to show you how it can make the black pop (Howie showed me the "unsharp" filter which I applied also)...

She?s sooooooo beautiful! The beautiful blue of her eyes in really enhanced when all the rest is in black and white.
Thanks for the comment on my pic.
Cheers, Ana

Beautiful eyes! Better contrast will improve your photo greatly. Using PS Elements, go to Enhance and click AutoLevels and that will usually do a good job. To customize the contrast, go to Enhance, click Brightness/Contrast, then Levels. Play with moving the little triangles and you'll be amazed at how your picture will come to life.

Sarah - use PSCS, so I'm not sure what you won't have in elements. Generally removing/desaturing the colour is not the best way to go. There are HEAPS of conversion methods out there. I think this one works with elements - http://www.russellbrown.com/tips/pdf/colortoB&W.pdf but do a search on google, and you'll find heaps. Hth.

I'm VERY new to digital (just bought my D70 a week and a half ago) so is it possible to explain how or is that complicated? I went into Elements (all the software we have) and removed the color with the magic wand tool all but the eyes. I know it does a LOT of things I'm clueless on.

I think you really need to brighten up those tones. At the moment the black and white looks really flat and muddy. Try a different conversion, or use some curves to add a bit more definetion :)
