what makes your images really good is the B&W conversion - you got a winner there

The pedestrians are nice and the b/w even better. A winning combination.

Thank you Elsa and BR.  I meant to put this in the People section.  All my B&W conversions are done in ACR.  I just check the box and fiddle around with contrast, clarity and the color channels.  A bit of the brush to get detail back in the darker areas.  I stood for a long time at this spot waiting for my son's girlfriend to buy a pair of cowboy boots.  Traffic was great

I moved the topic for you, Ron. Agree it fits better within this board.

Special for you Armando...  Personally I think those pants are a little over the top.  Visit Houston so I can buy you some beers in one of our famous Ice Houses.
