    Have you tried sephia? It might blend nicely with the rusted truck.

    I like the color best (everyone has a different opinion) but feel it needs a little more contrast and color saturation. Somehow the background seems too busy in b&W. I did some LAB curve steepening and added a little contrast. What do you think? I think I overdid it a little, but you can get the idea anyway.

    blk and white, IMO. I am kind of tired of sepia unless there is a good reason.

    I love the blk and white.

    Of the three choices (including tml's) I'd opt for the B&W.

    I prefer the B&W. Makes the truck stand out from the background better than the color version. I think the background is so busy in the color version that the sundued coloring of the truck causes it to kinda get lost in the background. Plus I like the effect of B&W on the background.

    What about a combo of the two that combined the higher contrast of the BW with some of the color of the original? Check it out... I think it looks kind of like an old faded color photo now and has more of an impact than the BW. Just an idea, hope you like it.

    Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    Thanks everyone for your input. I still can't decide! I was leaning towards the b and w, but the subtle combo one is appealing too. Sheesh! I better make up my mind. Thanks again.
