BW conversions #1
I've been getting more serious about doing some black and white conversions lately and I might be displaying some next month so I thought I would run a few by NPN and get some feedback. This shot was taken at Clinton Lake. The color version can be seen at:

The conversion was done with BW Styler in Photoshop CS3.

Canon 20D, Canon 10-22 @ 10mm, polarized, ISO 400, 1/200th, f22, hand held.

Your choice to go b/w with this image is a good one in my opinion. The subject and sky lend themselves nicely to the choice. Nice shot Scott.

I too would like to do more b/w but find myself shying away from it simply because my Epson 2200 doesn't produce good b/w output. A new printer would change that I think.

This looks real nice Scott, the conversion is done very well. I believe a very good choice for b&w.
