I just fiddled in Lightroom. DANIEL mon ami, my friend, It's a beautiful moment captured! The composition, the light is fantastic just as it should be ... "shooting from the shadow side!" As it illustrates and heightens the total photograph. Rembrandt would've been proud of you! ;-) I have no doubt this is a far more powerful ... stronger photograph in B&W! There isn't any need for colour, simply because it's such a powerful image to start with you don't need any colours! All they'd do is, nothing more than distract from the power of the moment shown in B&W! As far as screwing about with the image anymore than you've done? That can only be determined by seeing a print or image on screen! It's beautiful as is, so don't worry about messing with it any more. Good on you lad, a real keeper. Oh yeah and I mean yer wife also! ;-) cheers, ted
