First you take some amazing colour images with your 300 and now you go and impress in B&W using a 35. Don't you dare ever complain that your photography isn't any good!

Dave the last one is just too scary. It has the look of someone walking while not paying attention, and then looking up just before walking painfully into a large log that shouldn't be there!

Man, these impress me, buddy. The compositions and the terrific conversions bring these photos way out of the ordinary. Sterling stuff.
