[QUOTE="navcom, post: 86160, member: 11365"] i agree that this would look better with some contrast in a black and white conversion. Black and white is all about contrast and these types of scenes work well. Just ask Ansel Adams! ;) I would strongly recommend avoiding a simple "desaturation". It won't do your image any justice. You need to push the contrast (black and white points) a bit as well as do some selective "color" manipulation to make it pop. I took the liberty of converting your image in Nik Silver Efex Pro and also added a little sharpening. Bare in mind that it's not the original image so it's not perfect but it should give you an idea of what it would look like. If you don't want me modifying your images, just let me know and I'll delete it out of the post. Hope that helps! Jeff [ATTACH=CONFIG]19621._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
