I was thinking of doing something like this before but never really had the right subject for it until now. So after Steve promted me with this image http://myolympus.org/document.php?id=4388 to convert it to black and white, I thought it would make a good painted conversion. Thanks Steve!

Thanks for the compliment Christopher, I'm glad you like it.

I think the C-7070 is a very competent little camera, I like it very much, have you had yours long?

Best wishes.
