I'm still playing with black and white, mostly trying for a specific treatment (which this is not) and, sometimes, liking what I produced along the way (which this is). This is a very heavy (cement, I think) garden statue (head only) of a Roman horse (possibly a copy of a chariot horse)...wearing a jockey's cap (my sense of humor again). The jockey cap is of cloth. I bought it years ago because it reminded me of a chess piece. The original surface is rough and nubby...but through the magic of various Topaz plug-ins (I really should record my wanterings through this piece of software) I stumbled upon a nice, burnished look....which I think gives it the excitement the subject deserves. Thanks for coming to take a look!

I also really like this. As Carol said it has a glass look to it ... perhaps marble.
Nice work!
Nice work!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Having fun with B&W - good idea. You never know what'll turn out spectacular like this. This is a lovely image - it could be a chess piece.
