Very nice work. Been trying a little bit of portrait work myself and it takes a good eye, you have it and it is going to take me a long time to catch up.
Cheers

Great to know that you have a lot of work and that you are happy for that
Very beautiful pictures all Schell... you have capture great moments here....
Like a lot your B&W post processing...

Thanks guys, I have been keepiing a quiet eye on things here, just not had much time to post...
Russ, yes, I still find it hard to beleive that people are willing to pay me to do this- its too much fun to be work!!
Irma, thanks, I have recently started using a new B&W method which I like alot.
I'll try to find the instructions I jotted down, if my hubby hasn't chucked them out, or I'll post the action perhaps.
It basically entails adding a colour burn layer at about 10% opacity, using the channel mixer with mostly green, then red and not much blue and a hue saturation layer that is a nice warm browny colour.
Photo #3 was using mitch's B&W conversion, and 4 & 5 is using this new one.
Thanks again guys!
Superb work, Schell - some of your best ever. I particulalry like #5 - but all excellent.
Thanks schell for your comment and sharing your technique... I will try with a portrait I have...

Congratulations, Schellamo
Very nice work Schell ....
