Very nice entry for the theme - I like the black/white conversion, and the noise looks good in this shot!

Noise suits the subject matter here - it gives it a dirty, gritty working-man feel.

On the flat surfaces the noise is easy to see, but on the textured surfaces it blends in nicely and makes the appearance of those parts of the image striking. The photographs, especially, take on a new life because of the added grain, and the noisy framing. Your photo makes this garage wall memorable.

Dale, first, very nice entry! I'm liking the b&w toning a lot, the compo is great, it's got plenty of the required noise, and I'm most curious what that noose at upper-right's for, humm? ;)

Second, I don't think you're a victim of a pbase glitch this time around... just click "logout" in the pbase menubar up top before posting your pics or comments, and you won't have the KM Users signature appended. Cheers!
