This was taken under a railway overpass in Spokane, Wa. I converted it to a BW image using the lightness channel method discussed by Scott Kelby.

Okay, this is just awesome! I love the B&W....it's not flat at all! And it doesn't look as if it was taken in Spokane but somewhere in ancient times!!! #1485259Kerby Pfrangle June 18, 2005

Nice job of converting to B/W. You have alot of detail in the shadows which is hard to achieve with B/W. I really like the subject. Isn't Scott Kelby good?? #1485322Cathy Gregor June 18, 2005
