A photo of my uncle, the artist Tony Bramham. (link below)
I've been practising my portrait photography whenever I get a chance. This was taken using natural light, a Nikon D700 camera with Nikon 105mm f2.8vr micro lens at f3 and 1/90th second.
This new full-frame camera I'm using offers much greater control over depth of field compared to my old D40. The bigger sensor means a shallower depth of field for any given f stop and the super fast and accurate focus make the D700 a joy to use for portrait photography

@Anna.C: Thanks Anna!....I really like shallow depth of field in portrait photos.
@Reiner: Thanks Reiner!
@Richard: Thanks Richard!
@Scene by Sharon Photography: Thanks Sharon....it was photographed across the kitchen table!
@Marie LC: Thanks Marie...it was more of a 'snapshot' than a formal posed portrait.
@Mike: Yes, I did Mike and I couldn't get it to work at all in B&W....at least nothing that I was happy with. I can only think that the quality of the light must be very important when converting portraits (ie skin texture and colour) to B&W.
