This looked stunning in color but I wanted to see how it looked in B&W. It was a hard conversion to do because of all the similar colors

new layer in Multiply (then backoff Screen layer)

I like it - I think for the b&w, crop out some of the sky.

Nice lighting for a b&w but I'm with the others, I'm curious to see the color verison of this shot.

This has a nice simplicity to it, and the conversion is good, but in my mind's eye, I'm sorta seeing this in color. I think that's because I've seen shots of yours like this in color.

Nice effects, but now I want to see it in color too.
