    Very nice set. #3 is my favorite.

    I have been wanting to do more B&W, but not sure which software to purchase yet.

    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

    Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!

    Thanks, Phil. I have Silver Efex Pro, but more often than not I convert in Photoshop or Lightroom.

    Nice set! I like the composition in #1, but my favorite is #3. Good BW conversions.

    #3 is great! Love #4 also! Getting bit lost in #2, but perhaps that was the intention. Cheers!

    Cristobal, Taz, thanks for commenting. A part of me loves #2 but I think it's the weakest.

    Very enjoyable B&W's Don!
    I like #4 the best for all the implied human body parts...

    Like #4. It looks like a tangle of human bodies. But what is it? tree?

    rbt, chadd, thanks. The tangle in number 4 is a section of roots of a variety of aloe. It's actually a pretty small area you're looking at.

    Thanks, Wayne. I've been taking lots of photos but few landscapes. Maybe I need to come here more often.

    So curious to read about #4: aloe roots! Ha! I saw it as a sculpture representing human connectedness, affection, and interdependence. So soft. So entwined. (Silly me!) --Carter

    You're not wrong, Carter. I saw an embrace when I took it. That affected how I framed and processed it.
