I like this a lot David - excellent conversion. I also like the somewhat diffused look.

Wow, that B&W conversion is beautiful. I like the unconventional comp, and the softness of the reflections gives this a wonderfully dreamy feeling.

I really like that streaky reflection and the B/W conversion. Beautiful work.

David: Excellent conversion and a fine subject. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on CS5 and I'm really looking forward to the new possibilities. On this shot my first impression was that there was just a bit too much empty FG. I do think I would crop about 1/2 of it and then print it large. >=))>

Ops! I forgot to add the image.

I wish I would have added a border due to the fact that I brightened up the light areas a bit.

Excellent b&w conersion. Almost has a metallic look to it. I think I like the original - less bright version better.

Love it. Really do. I prefer the original, though. Seems more balanced.
