Tony, that's one hell of an image. Very well planned and done.

I've just read the accompanying post in your blog and it made me wonder: if the first attempts to record images back in the day had been able to reflect the world in colour, do you think B&W photography would exist today? (My guess is probably not, and that would have been a great loss.)

Really excellent, both in idea and execution.

Thanks Invisible & Elemental. I think, Invisible, that if photography had started life in full colour, then black & white would simply be a name on the Filter list on Photoshop - a trick that was used now and again to a hail of condemnation from "traditionalists" .
