Thanks for the compliment! FYI, I used a layer to create a very slight color toning on top of the B&W image... I think it might be responsible for the "warmer" feel of the picture. I am still experimenting with digital toning...
I dropped by after your perceptive comment on my Future Port picture. B&W is great for architectural shots, as it lets you concentrate on shapes, shadows and textures. I'm with you there... This is a great example... very effective, and not in the least boring. I admire your macros, but you can't do macros with rangefinder cameras so I'll not be doing any myself.
