After a significant amount of internal debate and digital alchemy (mostly cropping decisions), I have decided to use this image for the upcoming black & white show at the Albuquerque Photographers Gallery. I like the more open feeling and the shadows in this one and that tipped it for me. I would explain how I did the B/W conversion, but since I use Nikon Capture NX for all of my RAW file development, I doubt that the steps would be beneficial to most who might read this. The software allows me to 'blend' the original (more yellow tones in the trees) to any degree, so I opted to leave a small part of the original colors in the image.
