Eden, NY Cemetery Vertical in B&W

Same shot, different post-processing. Susan Stone suggested I try B&W with these cemetery shots, and I like how they came out. Don't ask me what I did ... some wacky combination of experimenting with the Red Channel and the IR command in the "Channel Mixer" dialog box. I love the textures in the tree!! Your thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated!

Lou Ann, it works both ways, as the composition is really good. you did a nice job converting it to B/W. very nice image.
