More shadows at the Tucson Botanical Gardens

Another sample of cool shadows on a bright day at the Tucson Botanical Garden. This time in B&W. Your thoughts?

I think this is really great B/W!

I dont know how to do good B/W pictures, but it is nice to see others. Maybe i learn some day... :)

Thank you for sharing. -Emilia

Emilia - thanks - what software do you use to process your photos?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated! :-)

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 ( What i use only if i want some filter for example ) and Lightroom what i use all the time.

I have trying to do some B/W pictures, but i think they are too gray or too dark or with out any good feelings... Maybe i dont try enought :O

-Emilia :)

I'm not familiar with Lightroom - but if they have a B&W conversion tool that allows you to separate the levels of desaturation of each color (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta) - that is the best way to play with B&W conversions. (In my opinion.) :-D

Ok, i will try. Thank you so much for your help, you dont know how much i appreciated it.

Warm regards Emilia :)

Following the tips :)

Harsh noon sun, find some shadows to shoot, interesting where they are not straight lines.
