your post #8 seems a little hypocritical. (You left all the XMP data in the file so that we can see all your edits in Lightroom.)

It's a good shot, but you should see what you can do to separate the wings from the background.

You take a shot in color and change it to grey scale.. That blows your argument out of the water.. Well, b/c my DLSR does not take B/W film we have that option now.

My meta data is there for you or anyone to look at..

Funny the things we see. You see a dragonfly smiling cause it just got laid, I see the front of a Mi-24 gunship...

I'm definitely a child of the Cold War.
