This is great! I recently saw a print like this from the 20's at my cousins wedding. It was hanging on the wall at the reception and had my attention for the better part of 15minutes or so. Great capture!!!

Great shot, Jon! Did you apply any filters in PS? The B/W has an almost ethereal quality to it, really adds to the shot. Makes we want to go ice skating :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone! Alison - yep, I PS'd this thing to pieces

I'm trying to remember as I type. From the color version I applied an action I made up for infared effects then applied a difused effect from virtual photographer and adjusted the fade. Brought the sky back out with the burn tool. The lower lefthand area was void so I added a sig to balance it a bit. I think that's all. It was still a bit drab to me until I added the border. Thanks again!
