I really like the blue highlights on your first image. Is this taken with your a620? Just got mine a couple days ago and plan on going out this weekend to take some day shots. Have been stuck at home at night after work doing some indoor stuff, but am itching to take it outdoors.

like the first. to dark on the second imho.

Yeah it was taken with my 620, the blue light is from my computer monitor.
Is there some way on PS 7.0 to just make the image black and white? The filter I used was the chalk and charcoal one, which gives a neat effect, but not exactly what I was looking for.

::edit:: found it, Image, Mode, Grayscale
