...But we won't run and we won't yield
You'll be my fortress and I will be your shield...
From this day forward nights don't seem so black
From this day forward we will never look back
In whatever time we have
We will make the most of time
And at least we'll be together in whatever time
We have
--In Whatever Time We Have [Children of Eden]

Not sure what I think about this.
I'm pretty happy, but that's probably
because I understand the concept behind it.
It was completely inspired by that song.
Usually I just add song lyrics for fun
and to make an interesting title,
but this title is part of the lyrics of
the above song.
Browne points for anyone bored enough
to guess what chord I was "playing'.
It's really a chord, I promise.

This is a really nice diptych, I think black and white was a good choice to create this mood.

Are you trying to add a vignette effect? It seems a little too "solid." I might suggest using a feathered circle marquee tool to get your selection, and then using levels or curves with a layer mask to get the vignette.

Also, experiment with ways to create black and white a bit more. Try using channel mixer, it can create some interesting effects (especially when you do something like mix green 50/50 with red and blue and then make it black and white.)

G!
And I love that song. I'm actually in Children of Eden as a Storyteller right now with a local theatre group. It's nice, I like it.

Yeah I do that sometimes :)
This black and white has some yellow/red added using "Color Balance"
and has textures overtop.
I use "GIMP", which is kind of like Photoshop.. but not really, haha
xD
Yeah for the vignette I use the selection tool
and gradually select less. For every selection I lower the Levels.
