Great work Dave....keep posting, can't wait to see more

Theres something Right about them as well, They are Great Captures!
We are our own worst critics, I'm very seldom satisfied with my photos; Even after I post them, I find things and go back an fix them again and again! I guess that's what I like about Digital Photography, You have that Ability!
I like all 3 very much, the Chips are Great and the Broken window in the 2nd one must have a story behind it.
And Where do I sign up for the Free Hugs!!!!! She's Adorable!
Thanks for Sharing these

Took a while but thnaks all for the positive reply's

Not al flaws are instant visible maybe.
For example, in the hug photo the focus point is way behind the lady.
PS sharpening and a small size shows it less.
Light is also comming from behind so the dodge doesnt help for the quality on top of that.

The color in th black and white.
Layers and mask are usefull tools in Photoshop.
As alway's there more way's

One way is to make a black and white layer on top of the picture.
Select this layer.
The easiest way to make a selection depend on what there is to select.
In this case the rectangular marqee tool will do the job just fine.
Select the sign.
Then in the layer menu go to layer mask --> hide selection.
A mask is now added to the layer your working on
All changes you make on this layer will effect evrything accept the black parts (the previous selections) in the mask.
