Fazal, excellent stuff there. For pulling out angry sky black and white is peerless.

Did you try any noise reducing software? I feel few of your ballet shots can be outstanding if you work a bit on them. Great captures!

Rarely one gets a clear window in the aircraft. 32000 ft above. Late monsoon clouds over Bay of Bengal.

Rudra,
Thanks for your comments, coming from you they mean a lot.
I am not familiar with the noise reducing software, can you help me there?

Fazal

Rudra - superb shots, the center wave making a U shape on the sand is magical.

Samurai - the reflections look great.

TG - as usual, brilliant. Your first starters pic is the pick.

Guys, the monochrome is getting a bit too monotonous. When is the theme switch? And please don't switch to Sepia.

And a request - please post some tips on how to get the best results for that theme before starting the new theme. It will help learners like me.

Fazal, there mainly two independent software popular in the market. One is Neat Image and other one is Noise Ninja. You check them out as free trial before purchase. I use Noise Ninja if need be.

My hopeless attempt at PP, ok not hopeless but very close to being hopless

Rudra,

Two shots from me that I got yesterday at a local flickr group meet. The first one is a selective colored photograph, mods if you think the photo does not belong here, kindly remove it and I'll re-post it at the non auto image thread.

Hope you guys like them.

Big cats from my collection in black and white.

WOW! Awesome shots there Fazal! I like the contrast brought in by the markings on the cats, well done.
