Misha, you got a sharp eye. Its a bird. :o) Jack. I shoot always with colors. Then, in Photoshop, Desaturate -> auto contrast -> and after that, just play with levels and contrast. Takes a while to get it just right, but its not hard at all. Remember to use layers and never do adjustments on original pic, always on copied layer. Did this make sense? If you want to know anything spesific, just ask. .n
