I'll tone those waves down a bit and see how it looks. May post it, maybe not. I appreciate your comment and constructive criticism.

In fact, it was close to monochrome before I converted it. Besides, it was monochrome in my mind as I took it. ;-) Thanks for the comment, and thanks to everyone else who looked and commented.

Re: PESO - The Morning Workout
I like that image Frank, and it works well in B&W. Your vantage point emphasizes the isolation -- and perhaps loneliness -- of the sculler. The size of the distant skyline also emphasizes the isolation, and gives a nice feeling of the place. Being busy can be hard of the nerves, but it is usually better than the alternative.

PESO - The Morning Workout
So yesterday, for some reason I thought it might be a quiet day at work, so I stowed the *istD and Vivitar f3.8 19mm in my messenger bag and headed off to work. About two weeks ago, Canada Post workers were in a legal strike position, and they've been running rotating strikes throughout the country since then. As of yesterday, Canada Post Corporation locked out the workers nation-wide, shutting down the service completely. Of course, we same-day courier companies went nuts. I did not have time to take any photos during my workday, however I did get a photo on the commute into work which hope you enjoy: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2011/06/morning-workout.html Comments always welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
