In the history of western culture, there is a rumor that only 5 images were meant to be in b&w. DJ, I think we just found the sixth. By converting this image to b&w, you could be setting the course for all photographers to follow us in history to come.
It's a huge responsibility DJ but I think your and you alone can handle the task.
This post comes on a Sat nite after a few shots to relax the weary head of the shooter...
It's Alive.... It's Alive......!
It's starting to breathe......
We are all holding our breath untill you finish it...
I reckon crop the bottom to make it a square format, increase the contrast, and you're there. Nice work.
