Spectacular! So what was your finishing technique if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks Moab Man! :victorious:

There's really nothing to tell...it's only some slight tweaking and B&W conversion in Lightroom 5.
It's little detail adjustment in BASIC, DETAILS & EFFECTS.

My camera settings are as follows:
