11 Oct 17 Reply Yes this helps, I shall add this adjustment to my file. Oct 28th
11 Oct 17 Reply I don't see "sad" in the BW image, but after looking at both versions for a month I think the complementary colors of the blossoms and butterfly create a lively contrast that cannot be matched by tonal differences in a monochrome treatment.

Thanks for your interest and thoughtful comments.		 Oct 28th
11 Oct 17 Comment I like it - the unnatural but pleasing soft blue shading adds an element of surprise to this image. Oct 24th
11 Oct 17 Comment To me, the softer detail in the distant ridge looks more natural than the enhanced version Tom suggests. Oct 23rd
11 Oct 17 Comment Your dark tones for the grass are not realistic, but they work artistically to make the subject stand out and to deepen the threatening mood created by the presence of this predator. Part of the creative appeal (and challenge) of BW conversion is the freedom to manipulate brightness levels. Oct 17th
11 Oct 17 Comment Again you have made an industrial engineering structure look like a work of art. Bechtel Corporation might pay you for this photo. The boat wake adds a bit of motion to this static scene and the two people provide scale.

There are noticeable halos, especially at the sky/land boundary. Backing off on the sharpening should reduce this artifact.		 Oct 17th
11 Oct 17 Comment A good lesson in the usefulness of HDR to bring out the the detail in a monochrome image. And admirably precise masking. Oct 16th
11 Oct 17 Reply The edge contact by the brightest blossom annoys me too, but it was in the shot not the crop. Oct 16th
11 Oct 17 Comment The soft light on this cloudy day produced a low contrast original capture. But your HDR processing really brought out the large- and small-scale details in this scene.
