Hi There

I was hoping that someone could do a good conversion to black and whit for me please. I have tried, but I just haven't got the skills to do it properly yet..

File is quite large, and hopefully would keep it as sharp as possible, i'm going to be transferring it to canvas.

Much appreciated.

The actual non processed file is

and it is 2.5 meg..

Thanks again..

I forgot to mention, I popped a catch light in the boy's right eye! Hope you don't mind!

Thats brilliant mate, thx very much, would never have thought of putting the "catch light" in.

You can also take it off your space now, I have downloaded it.

Thx Again..

Nice shot and a nice conversion. The shot would be even nicer without those very hard shadows which are typical of direct camera mounted flash. Try bouncing the flash off the ceiling, and moving your subjects away from the wall to lessen the shadows.

The shadows could very easily be cloned out and improve this shot a lot. :)

if your using the flash then stick the cam in maual mode and use ISo 100 and a faster shutter speed of 125 or 180
