2012 Photo Challenge: Week 4

Week 4, Photo 1:  Challenge:  Black & White.  This is the last week of the photo black & white photo challenge.  I chose one of my favorite subjects - staircases.  This is smoke stack has actually shown up in many a photo on my blog and I've always wanted to get the staircase that goes around it, I finally snuck around the building and got it.  

Week 4, Photo 2:  Challenge black & white.  When I converted this to black and white I upped the black percentage and found a very dark center of the page.  I liked it and the eeriness of the photo but thought it might be a bit dark so I toned it down a little - the reflections are better and the middle details are still good, but I'm kind of partial to the scary version.
