This is the Lovely R's rebuttal to my initial shot over his bow. R says- "This is a quick low-key black and white conversion using NIK Silver efex with the highlights tweaked slightly. Ordinarily I would sharpen this but I think it's pretty good as is from my amazing $50 Vivitar plastic fantastic macro lens. This Oystercatcher skeleton was flown about and dropped by a number of seagulls onto concrete at my workplace. It was quite old and mouldy by that stage so I bleached it for a couple of weeks in a dilute ammonia/bleach solution (a splash in a bucket of water) and then dried it in the sun for a week or so. It's turned out quite clean and photogenic. I used one of our Nikon D300 bodies and the aforementioned Vivitar vintage 100 mm F3.5 macro lens at F8 in natural indoor daylight. I like it!"
I like it too. But I think mine's better lol.
We'll each do another shot and post the results.
