I know this was shot at a wedding, but it's just a "grab" while I was setting up for the formals, so I hope it qualifies as PJ.

Does this work as a B&W conversion?

    Hey, Ziggy, nice to see you over here! I don't know about PJ, but it's a good catch - a nice informal moment amid the formals. Very nice. As to the conversion, I'd bump up the contrast a bit.

    I keep stopping by to look at this one. It makes me smile every time!!

    I love the way the flolwers behind her becomes a part of the bride's head piece. She looks like a goddess of spring.

    Have to agree with BD about the conversion. I think it would benefit form a more dramatic (contrasty) b&w.

    Thanks for your insight and comments BD and Virginia.

    Here is a custom curve to add some contrast, especially to the flesh tones and shadows.
