 This was taken along old historic Route 66 in Northern AZ, on a very bright sunny day. Black and white actually saves this photo.

I was wondering how come I didn't comment on this, I know I have looked at it several times. Love the conversion you have done here it really pops. Really an interesting subject too. I love it.

It's interesting that this came after twmax's midday sun photo - I'll tell you the same thing: harsh midday sun can be great for very strong contrast, and I have to say that I tend to really like strong contrast. As with the previous photo, that contrast serves this shot well. When I retire, I'm going to drive Route 66. I'll be sure to let you know in advance!

I love the old mother road and all the nostalgia behind it. This seems to be a bit slanted in the frame.

The B&W serves it well, giving it a feel of nostalgia (route 66 and all). And you gotta love the car on the roof - very cool!

I come back a lot to the series of Arizona backroads. This is another nice one.

This really pops in black and white. The sunlit building almost looks 3D standing out from the dark background.

I really like the processing here. The building jumps off the screen in contrast that the dark sky.

On a sunny day. You would never know with the black background. It definitely looks very nice this way. I think the black background and the great contrast shows off the history of that cool old building in its best possible way :)

A funny, odd DeSoto on the roof. A tight view of the beauty/barber/gift shop. The architecture has the feeling of a renovated gas station with the appearance of covered garage bays. A good subject, interesting commercial roadside place. I might like this view a little wider which may emphasize the origin of the building somewhat more clearly, but your framing is effective, I find these things are actually difficult to shoot.
