    I like the tonality in this image. Yes small towns are not fairing too well these days in many places,

    I love Santa Fe. I would think that the conscience effort to produce a B&W from the start would result in better images. B&W is not just the removal of color.

    I've often shot long exposure to get the motion of fast moving clouds. It can produce some interesting results - if the mind is to too great to blow the trees around. Maybe a little more contrast to brighten the clouds would make them stand out.

    This is converted but there was very little colour to start with...

    Thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep it in-mind.

    I like this. A nice abstraction. Maybe a bit more contrast, but that's my taste.

    Thanks. I wanted to lift contrast a lot but given the lighting the little detail around the body disappeared so I ended up using none at all. I guess I should try and mask out the body...
