does this work?

i took out the red and green channels from this image, which left all but the sky in very faint color. i didn't want the people to be totally black and white, so they still have a little skin tone. what do you think?

I really like it.

Excellent, although I don't like the dirt on that front girder. I'd try cloning it out.

Thats rather effective.

Looks like it does when I've been in the sun all day and rub my eyes: when I open them, it is the shot you've posted. Very cool! Leave the dirt. It was there, it adds to character of the structure. Thanks for sharing.
