I didn't want to post this last night with my beach picture because I was not sure about it. BW is not a strength with me. But do feel this is a good subject for the BW shape theme. Shape-treasure chest. I think there is a better technical term for a rounded top rectangle but I can't think of it.
Joan - this is great! Love the textures on the chest and hardware as well as the lines all point to your subject. Nice detail and I love the contrast in the B&W. Way to go!
I missed this earlier - for someone who isn't at ease with B&W, you've managed this nicely. LR is a very powerful tool for B&W - we'll talk about it offline.
