I had originally thought htis image i started with was garbage since there was a modern plastic trash can in the background etc... Luckily i didnt throw the image away and now that i know a little more about composition and such i think i turn a once bad image into something to be proud of...

heres the original

Wow great job. Like you I would have consigned the original to the 'learning material file' - but the job you have done there is really a good lesson in how to salvage something from a poor shot and make it into a great one. Thanks for sharing.

Yup the Cropped B&W is the way to go on this shot, very well done. :) :)

Great crop and lovely B+W. How did you 'soften' the image?
