A wonderful portrait of the scottish seascape, Brian and sorry for representing your mood... Do like the flash of light turning into the pic on the waters This is one of the very few moments I spent so much time waiting for...

Rgds, H.:)

How d'ya converted it to b&w? Greyscales only or some more (and even better) ways? Lab? Channel mixer?

Hello, Brian.

A very fine moody picture with those dark clouds but with a pool of light on the sea. Perhaps a ray of hope in a sea of despair?

Sorry to hear about your mood - I hope things get better soon!

Oh, by the way, "Brutus" is masculine second declension, so the vocative case is "Brute" and not "Bruti".

Best Wishes,

John.

"Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again
This worls is spinning around me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every day brings me closer to my last..."
