John,

I like the B&W conversion. Never thought of doing this with a HDR.

This one really helped me. It is based on using CS3.

When I saw the original I was prepared to say that I prefer the color one. But then I saw the b/w and wow, both are quite striking! You did a good job with this, tough call as to which, if either, is "better".

When you capture the light like that you end up with a winner either way.

I really like the b&w. It's works perfectly here.


Can't get my fix! Too many Canon bodies to list! My favorite? My complete F1 (first version) system
