Urban Grunge II

Kali and Graeme suggessted another go at Urban Grunge but to convert to B&W. This is another photo I took yesterday in the underpass so have played with that for a second get pushed attempt.

This has been a most challenging challenge- to get an understanding of the genre, find a 'venue' and then to have to do processing.

Thank you for all your complements and feedback on yesterday's colour version, you took it to PP for a few hours!

@graemestevens @kali66 I did a bit more research on Mr Google and stark black and white seems to show up a lot. This second photo looked better with that than yesterday's. Thanks for the challenge kali- really did push me intellectualy as well as photographically and I have enjoyed it.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - yup, you almost gave me a heart attack!

[JackieR]

@summerfield Sorry!!! I'm still trembling from the experience!!!

[Graeme Stevens]

I love how far you've taken the processing, it works incredibly well (for me anyway). An easy fav :)

Geat Jackie, the mystery man has a good pose and lots of grunge from the processing, glad you liked the challenge, i cannot do mine this week, but will give you a raincheck.

@kali66 hope all OK?

This works so well! Excellent processing. I think you may get hooked on processing now that you have dipped your toe in!
Well done on your challenge. Congrats on being selected a finalist with it.
