Geri Bragg
Excellent ! What treatment did you use on this – it is stunning !
Craig Hender replied
Thanks Geri. I use Silver Efex Pro for my b&w conversions. You simply cannot beat it. I highly reccomend it. You get so much control over everything, and if you are willing to experiment and spend the time on it, the results can be excellent.
