Here is my before and after for today!
This is actually an old photo, from a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina last May. This was a lovely ranch we went to for the day, where a gaucho played guitar for us. Here’s the out of camera jpeg.
And here’s the edit. I love it as a black and white! I used photoshop cs3 on this, and a black and white action.

That photo is great! The composition and lighting are awesome and it looks good in black and white too. 🙂

I really love the first picture it looks good in B&W, but I guess because I’m feeling spring-y I like the first one.

He’s got a great face! I like it SOOC! The colors are fun! But, the black and white leads my eyes to his face a little more! You do such pretty stuff!

I like pulling out older photo’s and playing with them. 🙂 Cool pic! Like the black and white, but I’m with Mrs.Clause! I’m feeling springey and digging the color. 🙂

I see many a story to tell when I look in this picture! A wonderfully rustic face and a terrific shot. I love the black and white… they’ve always been a favorite of mine. 🙂
