Here are some of my better attempts at B&W photography.

Yosemite
Sonoma
Santa Monica
SanFran1
SanFran2 (This picture was taken using the camera on the Iphone and it seems to have worked surprisingly well.)

And one more picture of my one year old cousin in San Francisco

Yosemite would is great but would be better without the sign, although perhaps that was your reason for the pic? San Fran 1 is an outstanding perspective with the gull, and san Monica is a simple clean shot, I like alot. Cutie pie cousin too!

Yep... SanFran 1 is very nice, like to composition. The light fogginess to the bridge befits the scene.

Thanks Bugaboo...I can see what you mean about the sign in Yosemite, it would make a great shot with out it. I was trying to get the reflection from the pond as well but I could not do that with out getting too much of wood fence and sign. So I tried to make the sign the subject of the shot and let background show the magnatude of such a flodding as indicated on the sign.

Really like S.F. 1. The misty bridge with the sharp gull for focus is a treat to see.

By bringing "Yosemite" wide like that the sign becomes more of a blight on the photo then a subject. Hard to make something like that look good with such a beautiful background. On "Sanoma" I think your balance is off, the dark is to dark, and the light is to light. "Santa Monica" is a nice clean shot, very good. "Sanfran1" is very nice, though I would rather see the seagull face forward. Blessings DSW
