Still life, San Fransico

Not really sure how this is representative of Adams apart from the fact it's B&W, however since I'm not familiar with his entire work I'll let that go. That aside, this really just feels like you've taken a snapshot in the kitchen and converted it to B&W.

The main subject isn't particularly appealing, and the other objects tend to just clutter rather than add anything.

The foreground tree for some reason stands out way too much, and the clouds have an odd over processed look about them. Perhaps too much contrast has caused this, not sure though.

Very nice postcard style shot! My only complaint (and it's a very minor one) is that I find the barbed wire a touch annoying, I would have been tempted to clone it out.

3.52 Saturday shopping

Love this look, it almost has an HDR'ish feel to it, though in a good way as opposed to the horrible overdone ones. Great range of tones.

I particularly like the way you've managed to catch the central man's shadow on the pillar as he walks by.

As far as Silver Efx goes, I love it. I find that I set one of the presets as just the start of my B&W processing then I make much more detailed adjustments using the panels on the right hand side. One of the features I find very useful are the control points, they do a great job of bringing out certain areas of the photo without making it look fake or post processed. I do agree with you that the price is a little steep though.

Great textures here, love this look. I actually tried to take something very similar myself this weekend, didn't come out anywhere near as good as this one though!

Very nice shot, I often wonder how you get close enough without making them turn and run!

Really great shot with wonderful lighting, looks light something straight out a glossy magazine!

One question though, why do you have so much cheese???

Nice portrait with great colours. I do find both lights a little distracting especially the closer one, maybe just toning them down a little in PP and it would work better.

Was looking at one of your other shots and this caught my eye! Fabulous shot with great contrasts, love the use of B&W. There's a lot of detail in this shot yet it all works together.
