I second that Dave.......I have seen some pics which look OK, if you like that sort of thing, some of them look very 'artificial'(for want of a better word)... I prefer most of my shots as nature intended them...although I do like to play around a little bit with effects...sepia and mono.
While this can be effective, it can never take anything away from the original.

I just thought I would give it a go to see if I could do it......and I understand the principles, but I haven't had any good results.
