A revisit (I really do like this picture). I just checked the color one and you've got very good light in that. The conversion somehow made the top of the mama look like the exposure is blown, but it isn't. You may wish to revisit your conversion to keep the highlights as they are in the color version.
This is phenominal. I just love the way the little guy fits in that space so well. I've not seen the color version but I already know I prefer this one. :-)
Oh my. I loved the color but this has a totally different feel. Fabulous tonal range. They look completely diff in black and white. I love this so much.
Thanks, yeah I will toy around with it some more. It was one of my favorite shots of the day, and I have an idea of how I'd really like it to look but I need some more free time to get it to that level. Thanks for your comments though, I appreciate them.
