Re: Snowy Field
Thanks everyone for your votes. It is always an honor to be recognized by your peers. This was one of those shots I almost gave up on because of all the background clutter. I knew there was a good shot there, but it took that toning effect to make the eye stay on the bikes and ignore everything else. To that note, I thank everyone who has made such nice remarks and suggestions in how to work in the B&W aspects of Post Production. This is such a great photography forum. whoohoo!

Good on yer Chris ... I loved the B/W shading ... sort of antique.

Re: Random Bikes
If you use Silver Efex Pro, instead of adding a tone, just shift (push) the first slider (I think that is strength but I am not at my regular computer, so not sure) and it tends to go toward a sepia color - though I tend to see it more as a creamed coffee color. It is very much an eye focuser. Thank you for your appreciation.

Its not just 'cause I want to stand a chance against you in the mini comps
Help please
