Great shot, I think the black and white works really well here.

Hi guys.
Thank you for the kind comments

I decided on a BW conversion because the day was very gray and dull. I was happy with the pose but the colours looked very subdued and insipid.

The post processing was not an easy road but I am very happy with the final image (it prints great).

From all of my visits to the HCT This image is one of my all time favourite I am glad you guys liked it too.
