Recent favorite. A quick snapshot up in Moraine State Park.


I believe I used the channel mixer in PS to convert to B/W. Added the stain with a "grunge" brush from Free Brush Portfolio. Also added the vignette and the noise in Photoshop.

Good subject


Maybe a little more background blur but i'm assuming you were at 55mm cause of f/5.6. Good shot though.

great background, nice composition.


I might have tried toning down the flash a little, but as is pretty cool!

Thanks Colin. I agree, the flash should have been toned down.
