She ended up waiting for me when it got trickier. She waited for me while I explored the most exposed parts. I took video with a small HD video camera.

I've found that it makes B&W conversion very easy. I've finally been able to get the 'look' in black and white that I enjoy.

Also the color of the painters pants was close to the color of the first article of clothing on the rack. Then I found myself noticing the blue colors from the Rubbermaid container, clothing and sky. That lead me to enjoy the idea that the clothes he was wearing came from the rack. And then I became aware of his shadow and the ladders shadow. Almost like he has a supernatural assistant. The contrast of the logo curves to the lines is so strong that once I became accustom to the contrast I started looking for similar elements. I used this photo on the front cover of my new magazine "New England Entrepenuer". My eye was attracted more to the color of the open sign matching the logo.

What plugin did you use? Why not just use the built in bw features from Photoshop? I like how the reflection in the water has more detail than the foggy background. What plugin did you use?
