Yeah, its definitely got a sort of spooky feel to it. The more I look at it the more tempted I am to give a few of my other pics similar treatment!

forkboy: How many times do I have to tell you, this photo lark is not about winning or losing, its about how you play the game! ;)

The picture looks like before the treatments it could still be very eary, but with the treatment it looks like something you could find out of one of the horror halloween movies. I love how spooky it looks!

Shot it quite a while ago but the original full-colour version didn’t particularly impress me so I never bothered to upload it. But somehow this sort of treatment seems to have made all the difference. Curious.
I’ve now got another couple of pics in mind that I’m sorely tempted to try something similar with.

Many years ago. And conceivably when I designed layouts for print. And possibly when I did a bit of window-dressing. And maybe even when I spent a coupla years or so decorating cakes. But now I just snap images. No art involved at all!

As for b&w, what I mean is, I just don’t see the point.

Sorta thing.

Second, I’ve graduated to ‘mate’ stauts? Me? But we haven’t shared a whiskey all snug down in The Bear? Still…I’ve reached mate status. You really have to see the giant smile on my face!

Third, what is there to get about b&w? It works or it doesn’t. Just like with colour images. You’re simply concerned that creating some b&w images will only further prove you are an artist….which you are anyway. But that’s a good thing so stop trying to avoid it ;-)
