George Pit Cottages
« on: Sunday 08 August 10 21:57 BST (UK) »
These three hard working lads had just finished a shift at the coalface-well at least their faces would indicate that, in actually fact they were working on the old cottages behind them.  Is it possible to make this image into a dramatic black & white whilst retaining the dust on their faces and bodies?

To be honest with you; I prefer black & white, there seems to be more depth but as you hinted probable depends on the subject.

Many thanks for your hard work.  Roy
