Just sort of rediscovered this photo (and many others) tonight and had time to put this one through some post editing with new tools for me.

It's my first post on here, other than the one I did in last week's contest.

Cheers

What software did you use to achieve such beautiful black and whites? I do love the photo, you should be proud of it.

Why thank you Markymark. I'm trying the demo of NIK software suite along with Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4. First time working with it, and I have to say....I'm usually in bed by now, lol. It's pretty fun.

Lookin' good! The only thing I would change would be to crop off some of that sky. Everything else in my opinion is way cool! I like the angles you have going too! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful shot. I would title it 'unstoppable force meets immovable object'.

Thank you Brent. I took it in and cropped some sky out, as suggested. I like it. Thanks for the advice. I hadn't really considered just how much sky was up there until you said something.

love the new crop, I like that you came in on the sides and did a deckle edge!

Hey thanks CHuckle's. I'm not used to doing edges and since they are a new toy, I'm trying really hard not to over-use them. But I, too, think it works great in this one. Appreciate the comments. :)
