excellent stuff! I like how you made the direct flash work on this photo. I think direct light from the onboard flash hardly looks good, but you managed to do it here! Perhaps the B&W conversion only enhances that... Anyways, congrats!

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!

PS: What does this friend of yours do? Like marygrace, I wouldn't be too surprised (not at all) if he were a writer!
