The first one especially and the one of the girl crying on the ground. Sure, the contrast is high, but I totally dig it. I think you need to teach me how to make proper black and white conversions. Mine always end up looking too greyscale... Cheers. Mustafah, great stuff. The first one especially and the one of the girl crying on the ground. Sure, the contrast is high, but I totally dig it.

Whenever I see a new post from one of you guys, it always makes me rethink my compositions. Truly inspirational stuff. p.s. I could be totally off here, but I agree with matt - some of the tones are very harsh, is this intentional or is it just my monitor in need of calibration? great reportage as always.

Love the drama the contrast gives this series. The wolmer's boys 4x400 and that poll vaulter are so good. Tones look spot-on via my monitor, Mustafah. Love the drama the contrast gives this series.
