thanks for dropping by guys!:)

Nice photos Levi. They look like photos that you would find in an attic of a really old house.

Great series Levi. But the first one for me is the winner.

Breath-taking! I agree that the first one is the winner. AMAZING. It's just so surreal on so many levels; the juxtaposing of modern architecture with nature, how the horizon seems to cut through the sea and sky from right to left (see the arrow-like shapes that form?)... It could be straight out of a storybook.

My least favorite would have to be the one with the lily pads though. I'm a bit confused as to what the main focus of the image is supposed to be, but it's all good. :)

Love the one with the lamp post too! So film noir!

Great series! Awesome possum! <3

Thanks for the comments Jenna. :) I'll try to post some more...

very nice bw collection levi! more pics please

nice series, levi. especially the one with the bike (harbor square).

question, do they look better in b&w than in color?

perfect for the "vanishing scenes" of EPix06, were you able to submit entries?=)

@ ruben_carpio

thanks sir. i'll try to post some more.

@ raul_echivarre

appreciate it sir. hmm... thats a tough call. i also like the orginal (color) photo.

i'll try to post it also and let you guys decide if its better to have it in b&w:)

@ Rosscapili

unfortunately not...:(

thanks for viewing though.

you should develop it more (imagine even better, fresher images) and sprinkle your gallery with some of them =)

Mang levi, excellent pictures. Nowadays, we can hardly shoot those kind of pictures, super strict na kasi yung security....

Thanks Roy. Yep, thats the very first image. Thanks to you, mentor!:)

But the one posted is a combination of channel mixer, curves and contrast:) .

Yep, I saved a hi-res file for printing. Thanks for looking man.
