Thanks very much! I actually display this particular shot in my home and it's the largest of my photographs currently hanging on the walls. I love it.

Yes indeed. Threshold is a good Photoshop effect for those type of shots. We'll have to try some when we get together next time.

Sorry I missed you last time. I tried calling you but, you didn't answer. It's okay though because I found something else to do anyway. Thanks for keeping in touch though. I never know when you're not busy. Gimme a call again sometime and we'll definitely hook up and kick some photography ass!

Yeah, I've been working 11 hour days 6 days a week lately. Between that and the time I spend with Stacey, it doesn't leave any for the photography I want to try... We will get together though and very soon.

dont think I have ever seen so many pigeons on the wire before nice spot Justin is this a black and white photo- or is it just because the subject is only two tone ?

This was converted to monochrome and then given a slight sepia treatment. The raw photo was almost monochrome to begin with.
