This is the BW version of an image I posted earlier in the year http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...-At-Last-Light.
Just out of curiosity i decided to convert it to BW and like how the tonalities came out I also left it un cropped.

Oh yes, I very well remember your older post in colour.
This one's come out nice as well. Might darken the water in the middle-left a wee bit.
After looking at both images for a while, I guess I probably like the colour version more.
Don,
Before going back to the color version I produced two different crops below. You will note that one crop is close to what you had in the color version.
I find the in this version the two rocks on the left unbalance the image when including the larger pano version and right side of the image. I also find the clouds on the right to be muddy looking (flat gray tonality).
Besides recopping I used Shadow/Highlight to open up the FG rocks, and various curves and levels adjustments to increase contrast and darken the midtones in the clouds.
In this second crop I went pano and yes horizon is in the middle but AOK with a perfect reflection. Similar tonal corrections.
This also needs a mild CCW rotation that I forgot to do in my recrops.
Hey Don,
I think the conversion works pretty well and I agree with some of the tone corrections. I like the OP crop best (althought perhaps a touch off theright and then the pano crop is my 2nd favorite. All that being said.....I do prefer the color version best!
Thanks robert for taking the time to work on my image I like the pano crop version which I had never thought of .
