I took these photos of the new transit station in Kalamazoo the first one was taken a year ago just after it opened.

The second and third were taken last week when I had to go visit my sick grandson.

I think I like the third one best. I wonder what it would look like in B&W.

Basically I just brought up the contrast and then did some burning at the far end and slight sharpening. Very cool shot though. Good job.

The burning cut the glare? I dont understand most of the commands in PS and Adobe PS doesnt come with an explanation manuel.. lol

Thanks for the compliment, and help. Electricseashell

Basically thats about right. I just used it to pull in some of the blacks that were more gray.

I agree, the 3rd image is the best. I really like how it looks in B&W. Great job both of you.

I was going over the manual of my camera and found the settings to take BW so now I just need to get better at finding the settings when Im out taking pictures. I think the black and white looks really cool.
