    Interesting processing choice, Doc. A bit heavy on the contrast it seems.

    More a little too much SEP2 on a Luminosity Blend. I tend not to touch the contrast sliders unless doing other types of B&W conversions. I kind of liked how this one allowed the value bump to absorb some of the foliage color without losing the values of the colors in the house.

    I meant contrast in the literal sense, not how you achieved it. This is a very contrasty image with lots of clipping of both black and white points.

    I agree, but in the end, to the image, I like how it looks though I see I am going to have to go back and undo a bit on the chimney which translates overly saturated here.

    Josh:

    A bit complicated on the how but essentially, I made two separate images. The first in color where I isolated the green-blues on the house, inverted then desaturated the greens, yellows, blues and reds . From the original, non-desaturated color image, I made a SEP2 B&W conversion using a Film Noir 3 filter. I overlayed this image to the color image and set the blend mode to luminosity, backing the opacity down about 20%. I did go back in after blending and played a bit with the blue-green paint using a HSB master set to blues first, greens second to bump the color. It really becomes more a graphic interpretationthan a photogrpahic representation...but sometimes it's fun to cross the two.

    I do like it. But maybe back off on the black point a bit while you're at it?

    Already did..thanks for the great observation...sometimes, I tend to get caught up in the moment when I should be looking at the whole day.
