What an expression! Great shot, great DOF, tones, everything about this makes it a perfect street shot.

Interesting. I wondered if it was all about lighting the background, but when I tried I was fairly sloppy about it and letting light still spill on the glass. Maybe I'll give it another go. Thanks for sharing!

i LOVE the idea. I am not too hot about the blue line. I am too curious about the setup.

I like the gritty/grainy feel to this. Works quite well actually, for me anyway. :P Always fun to experiment...never know what you'll get.

Have fun!

Very neat shot, the slight blue tones distract a little but this is a really cool idea & you carried it out nicely!

hence the blue line? ;-) I do like the symmetry.

I actually am planning a B&W without conversion as well. keep an eye out for that one :-)

Very neat idea. I can only imagine what you had to go through.

I like the idea behind this shot. The execution seems, IMHO, a bit harried. Not sure if it's because your monitor is not calibrated right but the black has a few tones in it and is not a solid black. THere is a blue tinge as well, not sure if it's intentional, and tho I like it a lot, it does not go well with the bw concept we are charged to capture in this side challenge.

The comment is interesting in your details and I am left rather curious to hear how this was achieved.

Post details! I am going to try it tonight. Looks good. Is the blue line CA?
