Re: Black & White/Sepia Collection

I really like the first two. For me the lions are lacking a bit in tones... although, saying that, the second one is pretyt lovely! I think the first is a bit grey, and could perhaps do with a bit more contrast, but that's just me and I am on the world's worst monitor!

I love the first two, that hunting dog is just fab.

Thank you, that would be wonderful. I was reading that their numbers are dropping dramatically in the wild less than 6,000. I think, they are beautiful.

Re: Black & White/Sepia Collection

Lovely images. Some of them are a little dark and lacking in contrast.
Can I ask how you went about converting them?
