Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow and wow! Great series James. I like 2, 4, and 6 best...lots of contrast. Looks like B/W is making a big comeback!

Very nice set. #2 and #6 are my favorites.
I really like B&W for snowy scenes.

"Very nice set. #2 and #6 are my favorites."
My sentiments exactly!

Terrific series!!! Love #2,3 and 6 but the whole series is terrific.

The first one could use stronger blacks, but the rest are very exciting! That second one and the Sierra Blanca vista shot are delicious!

BTW, are these with the aforementioned Silver Efex Pro?

Actually no, The B/W Conversion was done with NIK's ColorFX PRO I in Photoshop CS3 which I just Upgraded to CS5. Thanks for the many compliments, I have been quietly stirring about in the corner working on my editing skills and setting my camera up to shoot what I want, how I want. :toast:
