Golden Canyon BW

Here's an old photo of mine recently converted to B and W. What do you think of the conversion?

Wow!!

I like the conversion Dave. Pretty cool looking shot. Would you care to share the color version as well?

Very nice, Dave. That's a great hike through there.

Nice conversion but i would also like to see the golden canyon in its golden colour too if you don`t mind.
I don`t think i`ve seen it in the past.

The light really wasn't right for this photo. Taken at a different time of day it could be spectacular. As is, it required ton of photoshop.

Thanks Dave.

I think i`ll go for the colour , it looks spectacular , well done.

Thanks, but I don't like the color of the background mountains. They look purple. They were black in real life. I could never get the correct color in photoshop.

Beautiful shot, Dave.

Here's a version with black mountains made by selecting them and desaturating 50%.
I set the white point as well.

Tupe, that's excelent! Thanks! I'm going to start from scratch and edit the orginal again. Recently I installed Photoshop CS on my computer and I just bought a photoshop book. I'm trying a more scientific approach to photoshop. For three years my photoshop technique has been nothing but trial and error. I reached a sort of platue on the photoshop learning curve and figured I needed to make a change. After just two days with CS I am totally inspired. I never relized how subtle and controling PS can be.

Wow, very impressive in B&W! Where is this?

I also prefer the B&W version, this is excellent,
T.O.

i thought the b+w version was ir at first. nice shot!!

I like the BW shot the best. Nice shot.

Great texture. I like it alot. The color version is nice too.
