Thanks for the kudos. That last one is 100% not original; I think I tossed a poster-edge on that for the female in the picture for her page. I think I tossed it on there to add some edge to the original photo.
I'm a slave to B&W pictures. . .been on a constant search for the right Photoshop B&W action.
Very very nice shots. I especially like the second one
Do you mind telling me what kind of equipment you used for these shots? Also, what photoshop technique are you using for conversion? The channel mixer?
