My first upload

My first upload · 11:58 AM

Hey guys (and gals). This is my first upload. C&C welcome. Thanks a bunch!

Peter Zack · 09-17-2007, 12:49 PM

Welcome "aboard" the forum. Good shot but this is the type of picture that begs to be converted to B&W IMO. The lights are the only thing that kinda bother me, that greenish cast looks a bit unusual.

clawhammer · 09-17-2007, 01:35 PM

Hmm, I'd not thought about b&w. I'll have to give it a shot.

davemdsn · 09-17-2007, 01:47 PM

Hey neighbor, nice shot. I agree that it may look really cool in B&W.

Nice Tux.

xfraser · 09-17-2007, 05:37 PM

Has a lonely, solitary feeling. I think B&W would be cool too. Nice picture!

daacon · 09-17-2007, 05:44 PM

Welcome aboard - I agree with others a good candidate for B&W as for your LBA - I had it bad - I am in remission at the moment but this is a direct result of some recent 'fixes' I scored from my 'suppliers' - I suspect the twitch will come again sooner than I would like.

Thanks for all the replies. Here's a quick and dirty B&W conversion. As always, C&C welcome.

After seeing the conversion, I am agreeing too - the shot was screaming to be converted to a b&w. Nice work!

Jimsi777 · 09-17-2007, 10:25 PM

Very cool in black!

Welcome to the forums

B&W version is way cool ! Good job !

SpecialK · 09-17-2007, 10:30 PM

Nice in B/w but I would level it a bit as the man and verticals are leaning forward.

clawhammer · 09-17-2007, 10:38 PM

It does seem to tilt just a tad to the right, doesn't it? Hmm. And I guess I just don't see what you guys see- I kinda like it better in color. Regardless, it's still one of my favorite shots.

roentarre · 09-18-2007, 01:32 AM

Great eye to spot this.

clawhammer · 09-18-2007, 02:04 AM

I cheated- that's me standing there

Peter Zack · 09-18-2007, 03:18 AM

Great look with the B&W. I feel it adds a lot to the 'moodiness' of the shot. As SpecialK said a touch of straightening and tone and you've got it. The colour version is good but I like the B&W better.
