Great set in b&w, rocknrumble!

The big cats are indeed impressive.

You handled the chrome on the bike really well!

The scenes from the wedding are beautiful.

 

Fine conversions!

Fantastic shots, love the the big cats. What software do you use to work in b&W?

I've just been using Lightroom for the B&W.

I'm so glad you tried the portraits in Black and White, you've done a cracking job on them. Cant wait to see more of them.

Marvellous character portraits!

Especially suited for b&w and fine conversion.

 

I did notice a purple stripe on the first one. From the man's temple to the right of the image.

This might be indicative of a dead pixel but I don't see this on your second image.

Or something happened during the upload.  Any ways, I thought it best to let you know.

Thanks, probably the upload. I've got a few more I've been trying but it's failing. I think I may need to reboot. LOL

Greate photos. Especially I like your lion and old men photos. But maybe you should to add some brightness to mens face?
