I still need more confidence in taking pics in public. I mean.....what if they beat me up?? (Okay, thats the extreme......but you never know).

Would love to hear some critiques, techniques and some examples.

I like the second one.

But your processing seems off. The darks go to black far too early and you lose a lot of detail. Most of the whites are not so blown out that the blacks should be this dark. Actually, I don't know because I didn't take the pictures. But that's how they seem to me.

How are you processing?

Could it be my monitor?? I do the regular auto level/contrast. Some lab sharpening and I use Channel Mixer to convert it to B&W. :-(

I am not exactly a VG post processer :oops:
