Good morning

@Kaushal: Kaushal - thank you! i did work on this in CS2 and merely desaturated it and adjusted the levels - I'm truly a beginner in Photoshop and have been watching tutorials all over the internet...

@jaclyn: jaclyn - thank you so much for the kind comment! I agree, I have a hard time getting black and white shots looking like I want. BUT, that's the great thing about digital!!!! and Photoshop!!! Thanks again!
