Default Playing with dodge and burn in B&W
I was reading an article in a mag I bought, it was about adding punch to a B&W photo in photoshop. Darkening the shadows, making the highlights brighter softening the mid tones etc. I had great fun, this is the first time I have used dodge and burn I think I have done it right. Hope you like it.

Thanks for looking.

You did great Try, they look fantastic and you are so right, it really enhances the black and white. Excellent work buddy.
