Here is my first entry. It's called Poppy's Christmas Pudding. Taken on a Nikon D3200 with a 35mm lens.. Only post production was conversion to black & white in iPhoto.

[DigiDiva]

This is one of my Mum. She always poses for me no matter how unglam I am going to make her! Took this as a close up, specifically for B&W, then applied a 'Andrzej Dragan' style to the image by converting to B&W and adjusting the colours till I achieved the desired tones, applying 2 adjustment layers to adjust the levels and curves. I then duplicated the original layer, applied a high pass filter (experimenting with how much until I was satisfied) and then changed the layer to overlay. I do hope you like it.

[Phil J]

I might have put up a colour version of this elsewhere, if so, apologies for the boredom factor.

Techie Stuff,
Nikon D300, f/5.6, 160sec, 1000 ISO, Bias +0.07, 48mm, Manual, White balance - Auto.

Here are my final two entries. Adam is 2 and Hannah is 4. Both taken on Nikon D3200. No post production except for conversion to B&W in iPhoto as I don't have any other software yet. As a beginner I am pleased with them.
