Fins B&W
Here are a few of the sandstone fins images converted to B&W.

After posting, the whites in #1 appear they need to be a little brighter- concur?

Really nice, Doug. These work for me in both B&W and color, although my preference is for the color versions. Really nice compositions. :toast:

The B&Ws emphasize the patterns in the formations better than in the color versions, but the color images convey the dimensionality and textures of the formations more effectively.

Well, these came out better than I thought! I do prefer the color versions, but the last one does have a lot of power in a b&w presentation. Some of your best, Doug!
