Are you and I related  I ask because our choices of photographic subjects are so similar  I like the first 2 very much because of the arcs that dominate. Not wild about #3; no drama like the first two. |

Nice textures and lines in these Armand- have you tried a B&W conversion? The subject seems perfect for it. To me anyway.

That I don't know but I'm sure I have soul mates out there (in photography that is) Nice textures and lines in these Armand- have you tried a B&W conversion? The subject seems perfect for it.

I'll try, it should work about the same. I really like that shade of green though. |

I like black&white #1 better. I might like it even more if it were black, instead of brown.

I like bw#1 best. I don't know what Bruce is referring to about brown in #1?

Are y'all joking, or can you actually not see the toning?

My old iMac is a bit crispy around the edges, but it has been pretty stable when I checked it every now and then with my Spyder 3 Pro [a calibration device from Datacolor]. It's loaned out, so I can't recheck right now.

It's not that much brown, more a subtle interplay between red and green but to satisfy the curiosity here are 2 versions with no toning.

The contrast in v1 [and more so in v2] seems to be reduced compared to the toned version and I think it does not help.

The only difference between the first posted version and v1 is no toning. The perceived lack of contrast is the reason I chose the toned image in the first place. I can boost the contrast in v1 but I'm not sure it will help.

For the attached image I processed the toned version with CS5's black & white converter, tweaked the contrast in levels, and then brightened it some.

P.S. to the one viewer before I remembered to sharpen: It is now sharpened

This B&W is derived from your color version after using "apply image, overlay" and levels first.

Finally, I see the brown tones to the original conversions from colors. Really like the crispness of Bruce's second one.

Much prefer the B&W v1 - exquisite.
