Great shot, but perhaps a little grainy? Nice long exposure though

My Silver Efex Pro selects "Film Types" by default and all of the film types add grain. Haven't found a way of changing the default to 'no film types'.

Nice image, though. ..... B&W images always work better if you 'see' in B&W.... in terms of composition, shapes, lines etc. Silver Efex is a great program.

I love silver efex pro and think sometimes a bit of grain can add something to the shot! :-) I liked the shot , Peter.
