at a minimum, i think that the contrast is a little shallow. i think a broader spread between the blacks & whites is essential for a B&W. i tried it & was quite pleased & would present it here, but in my last post, i could only figure out how to attach a file - not sure yet how to just post the image so you can see it w/out having to open the attachment. still playing around w/ that 1. but i will attach this one again until i get that figured out.

you'll notice one overblown spot near the center of the image that i don't like either, but the rest of the image i think represents itself well.
