I like this shot Pete... nice sense of the wind motion and has a very painterly quality to it. I occasionally try this kind of thing myself and get mixed results.

I have secret ways to shoot children or kids or young student, but it is working for me and not working for others"Very amateurish"... in the best possible way... as you have obviously won the confidence of the young lady...
I am working on winning the confidence of a few (hundred) of my wife's ballet, tap and gym students (no permission to post yet)

Did you buy the Leica?
That looks very nice. What software did you convert it in? No other adjustments done, just the straight conversion?Here's the El Dorado converted to gray scale. I love the way the gray scale conversions come out with this back.

Grayscale work flow:
Export as color tiffs from Phocus using Phocus to produce good full scale histograms and appropriate sharpening and noise reduction (no noise reduction needed here); images imported to LR and stitched in PS; perspective correction in LR (very slight in this image); minor spotting in sky areas in LR; convert to grayscale in LR; in LR: add "shoulder" and "toe" to tone curve, use B&W mix sliders to simulate a yellow or "minus violet" filter (darken blues and lighten oranges and yellows), add post crop vignetting to simulate edge burning in a wet darkroom; restrained use of the adjustment brush in LR (simulating dodging and burning); apply split toning preset in LR; final touch up of exposure in the tone field in LR. Keys are to start with a good exposure, get it right in Phocus, avoid overuse of any of these manipulations, use the fill light and clarity sliders sparingly if at all and don't over sharpen. The whole process in LR takes a couple of minutes max.
