It's a nice hobby and you are good at it, but personally I often prefer the Original B/W pictures. But praise for you work Matt!

Thank you, I understand what you mean, often I prefer the original B&W. The goal is to see what dimention colour can bring. Sometimes it adds a different dimension other times very little.

It is purely for fun and not intended to offend. Plus. I think I'm addicted to doing sometimes :lol:
