This started of as a really boring picture. I was drawn to take the picture, because of the unusual "Taxi" sign. This was outside a block of flats in Kensington, London, and is obviously used to flag down a taxi for its residence.
Looking at the picture again, I thought I would try a black and white conversion. Using Elements 6, there is a "convert to Black and White" function. This looks fine, but it allows you to change the red, green and blue channels, as well as the contrast. Having a play with these, and then adding some noise, I ended up with the above picture, which I really like. Not so boring now, well not to me that is.
