Thanks Keith, appreciate the pick and fine compliment.

 

[L David Tomei]

Thank you for very kindly mentioning my photo, Mlehrman, porktaco, and SciAggie. It is clear that last weeks postings were of such high quality, so I feel a bit like Buster Keaton at a Shakespeare festival. However, I glad if I could make some laugh.

Thank you for the mention Hteasley!

 

[Arjay]

Thank you for mentioning my pictures Leica M2 fan, ferider and hendriphile!

@ hendriphile - Here's how I post-processed the hiker picture:
(a) slight crop
(b ) BW conversion w/ a strong preference for yellow/green colors - produces smooth skin tones
(c ) Gradation curve w/ boost for upper midtones; no boost for shadows
(d) 2nd gradation curve modification - added contrast on the floor tiles, combined w/ a layer mask to restrict that change exclusively to the tiles
