Great study nicely carried out, a like from me and favourites, regards Leon.

Thanks for the Email Nigel. I've done a tutorial on how these are done, on my site http://www.photography-forums.co.uk/forum/tutorials-f83/out-of-the-darkn...

You will need to register to see the example pics etc, but it gives you an idea

I use topaz plugins in the tutorial, but you can use any black n white conversion method/software. And use levels adjustment, instead of Topaz adjust, to get a very similar effect

Another really super pic, looks amazing viewed large
