Nope.  No filters, just a bit of PhotoShop manipulation in the 
conversion to B&W.  I don't use filters at all anymore except for the 
occasional use of a polarizer.  But the only circular polarizer I own is 
a 77mm to fit the two Tokina 2.8 lenses.  It's too big to fit the Tamron 
24-135 without a step-up ring (which I'd be hard pressed to locate at 
the moment).  It does fit the Tamron 20-40 but I've never tried it.  It 
would probably vignette horribly.

I used to view a polarizer as a means of darkening skies but I think 
PhotoShop works better for that.  Now I only use it for actually cutting 
reflections so it doesn't get much use.

If you're just catching up to this you'll see that some folks thought 
this was too dark and it did get Moosified.  I'm still ambivalent on the 
lightening up.  If I printed this I'd print it large where it does show 
a lot more detail even in the darker version.
