    Love it. From the Ansel Adams College of Black and White Channel Mixer. I'll bet the original sky was perfectly innocuous, and the B&W conversion dramatized it! naughty.gif

    Exactly! The scene stood out in my minds eye yet the colors did nothing to enhance it. B&W saved it.

    Good photo Shakey: Categories besides blk&white and wide?
    Bicycle tire and fence: Line and Curve??


    I am trying to get a good handle on what appears to be the next challenge.

    nod.gif Looks like lines are central to the composition to me.

    I know nothing about black and white...
    This picture is gorgeous! Could you show us the color version? I've never done black and white. Oh, a couple of shots, just went to the color thing and desaturated all the way to B&W or clicked on change to black and white. Then maybe to "contrast" and raised that. Don't even know what chanel mixer does. I can read the tutorial and play around I guess. But, I'd like to see what you had at the start.

    Thanks for the nice words Snapapple:D .
    Ask and you shall recieve... this is right from camera no adjustment other than sizing for attachment and making file size smaller.

    BTW this photo in the B&W conversion won 1st place in a wide angle challenge
