Nice B@W work LennyBloke, I haven't been about lately bar a competition but these deserve a comment.
The first is a beautifully detailed textured photo, combining the light with the perfect amount of DOF.
My favourite is No 2 though (might not be for everyone:shock, for its abstract composition and grain, very nice transitional tones and the subject keeps my attention as I view.

100% black cotton, two layers and a couple of elastic bands, Im sure you have an old Motörhead or AC DC teeshirt or two in black, cut em up and improvise but don't grow a moustache or you might end up impersonating that fellow Sherif Ali, you know the one he kept calling the other fellow Awernce , they wear cotton for a reason

Nice to meet you LindsayP, Im also jealous that you have the Mono K3 and an LX with all its prisms
I hope that you might go to London sometime with the K3 mono and just shoot some street and architecture in the evening time but whatever you photograph, please post it here the new mono on the block

Nice thoughts Urbanmeister, and thank you for introducing another photographer that I was not aware of and that list is long.
When I look at certain photographers and photographs, I often pause on some images that would not be technical masterpieces but yet they intrigue and hold one in wonder.
A moment in time that will never repeat, no matter whom try to replicate.

Pentax k3 monochrome sold out worldwide
A shock for Ricoh as well, so anyone that ordered one is very lucky.
It was said by aRep of Ricoh on pentax roadshow on youtube.

Nail on the head RobL, AI increases the overall size of the file, and all AI software works in the same way.
It is impressive though, when used sparingly but inevitably it will be taken to new extremes as the years roll by, like all new tricks, HDR anyone

AI is like Dolly, the cloned sheep and that did not workout too well for Dolly. Half a life span and riddled with breakdown disease.
When humans start to have AI implants for "greater intelligence etc" they will disconnect from the very DNA that has supported them for millennia but that is the current technology being sold by snake oil salesmen.
AI has benefits but i wouldn't alter my body to accommodate it for the sake of it.

Its a yes, for the first image, an almost mystical mid ground for the journey that is awaiting in the background. saw it earlier on the Gallery, and an excellent portrayal.
The second image in B@W, I like it also, an early morning delivery(i assume) as described, the mundane chores brought to bear (beer) on the all to overcast recent weather, Nice job, bet its only around the corner from you
