BW Spider Awards Honors

All four of my images were nominated in the Black and White Spider Awards. Only one of them was originally for black and white (Tension Lines) and the others I converted just for the competition. I was curious more than anything. But now I will do some more images in Black and White for the image specifically and experiment in that area.
