At least that's what it looks like he's saying. This is one of the statues outside the Victor Emmanuel Monument in Rome.

Frank, I am a leading expert in lip reading...he is really saying, "I like the pants you are wearing."

I like the tonality of this image, and your perspective of it. I would not mind seeing a B&W version of it.

Thanks Mike and Pierre!

I would not mind seeing a B&W version of it.

I tried to drain the color but could not come up with anything as good as a 1950's B&W TV image.

If you have the skill, please feel free to give it a whirl.

Hopefully Pierre will like it. I'm not sure if this kind of an image, which as fairly monotone to start with, works well in B&W for me.
