I haven't been on here in a long long time (mid January) — I'm loving the new site. I remember seeing screenshots but didn't actually come back to see it implemented.

Anyway - I was hoping for some comments and critique for the latest challenge. I'm wondering what you think of this shot or should I do a straight black and white conversion. Does the tint work?

    I kinda like the Monotone, but not sure of the color tone choice. Seems like a warmer, straw tone would suit more. Unless your looking for a haunted Halloweenish look! :D

    Thanks Don. I've come up with two other versions. Plain black and white, and a warmer tone than the blue. Thoughts anyone?

    Nice shot! The B&W works better than the others. The green is too much, although it might work at a much lower saturation. Try sepia or gold.

    Thanks for the input! I tried the sepia but I liked the Black and White much better. I've uploaded it to the gallery.
