A black and white conversion of a view of The Battery and Signal Hill, in St. John's, Newfoundland. After conversion, a blurred layer was added to give an Orton effect.

My personal feeling is that this image would stand alone as a great B&W. I am a fan of the "Orton Effect" and used it in some of my images. However, in this case it doesn't work for me.

Thanks, Floyd.
Mixed feelings, myself; that's why I posted here.
Felt like it needed something beyond just the straight image.

As someone who likes to shoot with Petzval lenses, the effect works for me.
