Hi Tina,
But you shot it from the "SHADOW SIDE!" That made more than half the battle 
won right there!!!!! The B&W conversion made it perfect!!!!!! As soon as you 
went "click!"! ;-) A little tweaking in the "darkroom?" ;-) And away you go! 
Hot dang a "WINNER!!!" :-)

And as I've said more than once before. "When you photograph people in 
colour, you photograph their clothes! But when you shoot them (or in this 
case) convert to B&W? You've captured their Soul!"

A slight modification from the days of film! ;-)  Just have to love it in 
B&W, absolutely no question! 

cheers,
ted
