I processed this old train two different ways just playing around and found I like them both! I shot it in HDR. My first time to convert an HDR into a B&W and was pretty pleased with the outcome! TFL!

    I'm liking the second B&W version much better. The HDR look in #1 is too strong for me.

    And I am just the opposite... I love número UNO.... I love the process... I would actually like to see this image with even more... But I'm twisted...lol

    I am rarely an HDR fan, but I really like #1 also.

    #2 I think I'd rather see the B & W without the HDR render.

    I'm a bit torn, but lean towards the bw. I find the color one too strong. I love the shot though. I posted this and looked at the pics again, and I think that what is distracting is the level of detail in the background. I know it's hdr and most are shot with a high dof, but...

    Both good Clikin'. The b&w HDR has nice luminescent high contrast
