 My daughter is out practicing her throw in technique for soccer. It was early evening and very cloudy and gray. I was laying on the ground to see if I got any neat shots of her practicing for the ground up challenge. I had four photos to choose from. I liked them all. I am very biased. So I had my daughter and son choose. This is the one they chose so I figured I would go with it. I did not like the color version so I decided to convert it to a high contrast B/W photo. I was quite pleased with the result. Don't think this will be a hit with most but thought it was worth a shot since most do not do B/W.

Curves,
Shadow/Highlights,
selective color,
I think some saturation. Can't remember.

There ya go! This is awesome. An original and simple image, so well captured and protrayed. Love the lighting, the use of high contrast and the smoothness of the whole image - 10
