I looked at it again this morning, and decided to upload it anyways:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5597881633/in/set-72157626444704090/
That type of photo manipulation isn't my normal style, which I guess is a
good reason to try it. And I forgot to thank you for the suggestion.
Suggestions for things that I wouldn't normally do is exactly the reason
that I post photos to the list.
It's not the sort of thing that I'd think of doing either but it works
well here. Very subtle. I think I prefer it to the original - adds a
bit of mystery to the subject.
Cheers
Brian

I think my favorite version of the photo is still the plain B&W.
