 Taken in Glasgow's Transport Museum

Converte dto B&W via Gradient Map
Adusted Brightness & Contrast
White border added via Filters Unlimited 2

(really not sure about the border but the windows behind the car were bothering me by being a bit over exposed, the border detracts the viewerfrom the problem (rather like smashing your headlights with a brick would detract from a tear in the upholstery)

i would have preferred sepia, but I guess you kept it this way to preserve the beautiful black of the car.. the whited out edges are a little too overdone to me, but i'm sure there are just as many who say they like it.. a good pic overall :)

Nostalgia. Excellent back and white work with bright whites, black blacks and a reasonable tonal range in between. Your feathered edges are OK but become too much quickly if you went any further.

I like the vignetting, but I think it might be a little intense. It's encroaching on the car maybe a bit too much.

a little too much vignette for my tastes, but a very crisp, moody shot. Nice.

Another great shot. I love the blown out corners on this one, is this a legal effect? Must be. Also like the contrast, and deep shadows. Great job!

to me there is too much glow around the edges, a little less of this effect would be nicer

very nice, but is this fade allowed in rules?

Great contrast, great subject. I really like what you've done here. One of my top picks.

Beautiful shot - great old-time feeling with the high contrast and vignetting.

Your use of the faded borders and b&w creat a nice nostalgic feel. Very appropriate for the subject. Good detail and contrast throughout.
