This picture was taken at the Recolata Cematary in Buenos Aires. It was originally in colour but I thought it would look look better in B & W. I desaturated it, then did an overlay to increase the tones. I don't know if there is anything else I could do to increase the tonality.
Any help would be appreciated. I am using Adobe CS4.
Thanks

Hi Jackie,
I like the composition. I made a few adjustments to the image see if you like. I adjusted the tilt by adjusting CCW 1 degree boosted contrast, toned down the whites on the left of the frame and selective sharpened the angel, and opened up the shadows in the face and robe...:cool:

Thanks Gus,
I like what you have done, putting more emphasis on the angel and toning down the whites on the door. I like the opening of the shadows, it puts more emphasis on the subject. Thank You for your input it is just what I was looking for.
