Tetons in Black and White
I decided to rework my tetons images from a couple years back and do them in black and white this time around, I have a whole series on my website

Very dramatic in B&W...some of the images seem a little dark to me but, overall are quite nice...beautiful collection.
What process did you use for your conversions?

David, the next to last pano entitled "Tetons" was the best of the series for me, as I like the comp and the more natural,cleaner processing.
For the barn image shown here, the front tree on the right side is maybe too bright and hence grabby.

I agree with David that overall they seem a bit too heavy on the dark side of things, but that's just preference. The Snake River Overlook ones are the standouts I think!

Hi David, your site is looking nice! I agree with Jack, that Snake River Overlook image is the winner with my eyes.

I find the b&w conversions to be a bit heavy handed myself. The exceptions are Snake River Overlook Landscape and Teton Night Clouds, which I enjoy quite a bit.

Definitely a dark mood to all of those, which does make them unique. I agree the work at the Snake River Overlook is fairly stunning.
