Two more of the musicians that played at the Channel 66/PhillyCam Headquarters grand opening Wednesday night: Sam Haines (bass) and Kevin Richardson (sax).

For the black and white conversion, I used a modified version of one of the Nik Silver Efex 2 presets. The color version is shown in the discussion area.

  Funny I was thinking that EXACT THOUGHT when viewing it. Also a term I've never heard before ? ;o)
I'd say the title pretty much hits it on the head matching the B&W version although I prefer the color.
Nice work all around.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND
Jack

  Yes I am in the B&W camp as to the B&W making the composition so much more moody and interesting. Great capture Michelle!

  Mel got it right...but you'd have to imagine the Scotch. They had wine and beer...and Trader Joe's carbonated juices. DELICIOUS!

  I like the b/w version and the way the foreground has as much importance as the background.
