Very good shot of the clay pots. Very good composition, color and texture. Only thing I would do is dull down the bright area in the upper left. The eye is first attracted to highlights (bright areas) and the eye should go straight to that first pot in the row. I compose my shots in camera but do not crop in camera. I almost always leave a cropping margin in camera. I then use the cropping tool to fine tune the final composition. I also use Aperture. Aperture has a B&W function including sepia and other colors in the adjustments. There is also a B&W preset group that can be used to simulate a number of different film types and speeds. I like the cross in color with the background in B&W. That is also a process that can be done in Aperture adjustments.</p></blockquote><p></p>
