Black and White images 
I chose to edit the photos creating even more of a contrast between light and dark. The black and white images create more of a ghostly effect. The purposeful over and under exposure look more intense and create a more interesting image with a clear focal point in relation to the back ground.  

My final outcomes

Image creation process
On Photoshop I went into image - adjustments - the i used the black & white controllers to create the initial  flip from color to black and white.  Also to create more contrast and over come the distracting background i used the same process but instead of clicking on black and white, i clicked levels then when from the left to right controller until my back ground got to my desired darkness.
