Thank you, John, Dominick, Philippe & Margie! I didn't set out to make a b/w conversion (thought I'd do a blue-tint) but one of my filter applications I was exploring really took a cool turn, and it then seemed to beg for b/w! #5051006

Good eye on this one, Chris! It really looks great as a B&W! #5056400

Excellent fit for the Unusual Shapes MT, Chris. You know I adore black and white and this one has great tonal range. Good luck with it. #8708163

I can't believe you went back and found my old, first version! I like the rework entered today, much better, actually! #9087140
