Two special photos, B&W

[martin-images]

Well special to me, these where taken a long time ago of one of my sons, David, so i scanned them and edited on computer, and, well they are memorys that are captured in time, priceless, they are both unposed, first available light, second with flash [if anything a little harsh for my taste but it was the best i could do in PS], wish i could share the original prints, :-(

Ok, but lacks the grainy look of film and a bit plasticky IMHO, but nice try :-)

They are great. Both look "classic".

[BlueTit]

They are both great, I love his eyes in the second one.

Man ! keep the first two the way they are ! Those photos are great ! Absolutely !

[Leorooster]

Yes, they both look classic. I like David's face expression as well, very natural, especially the 2nd one.

Btw AjP, I wouldn't recommend retouching Martin images. He is a master of B&W. I know I wouldn't.

I really like the contrast on the middle one.

Two excellent images. But I checked your site and all your images appear to be excellent. I love them.

Hi AjP,

If you like B&W photography you have to see Martin's site. Believe me you won't regret it.
