converted to b&w using virtual 'photographer' (just to be honest ;).........)

If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...

    Mongrel,
    excellent stuff! I like how you made the direct flash work on this photo. I think direct light from the onboard flash hardly looks good, but you managed to do it here! Perhaps the B&W conversion only enhances that... Anyways, congrats!

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Take care!

    PS: What does this friend of yours do? Like marygrace, I wouldn't be too surprised (not at all) if he were a writer!
