I like this a ton! The color image was already good, but this is great!

Joe, I prefer this version over the color one.

So do I! These types of images always seem to benefit as toned b&w shots. Just like your barn series. Nice work, Joe!

This image really lends itself to this treatment with the warm monochrome features. Very nice!

I like this one better as well, I think it would look good with some blue toning in the shadows

I really like the processing on this image. The scene is from another time and I feel the B&W gives it more of that historical feel. Beautiful!

I like what you have done here. It fits the mood of the subject.

I much prefer this version over the color image. It has a wonderful timeless quality.

I like both. This version is certainly gorgeous and pleasingly antique-looking, but warm glow of the other doesn't come through for me here. The other also has an immediate feeling, like I'm actually in there, whereas this treatment puts something of a museum-piece kind of distance between me and the subject. I think either one would shine in the appropriate context.

I MUCH prefer this over the color. Very nice conversion.

Love it! I think I still like the color better, but not by much.

Your conversions are stellar. This is no exception!

If you're asking, I like this more than the color version.
