Thank you, Eric.
Mark, I take your point. In the original capture the reddish and yellowish tones inside the room were quite obvious, but I had considered a B/W rendering. My dilemma occurred when I found that I liked the toned down interior, but not what it did to the greens and yellows of the leaves outside. I was also mindful of Peter Fiore's suggestion of deeper value in B/W images, and thought I'd give that a whack to see if I could draw the eye out into the garden through the window. I viewed all the interior, particularly the dark and light curtains as accents and the chairs and table creating a central focus from which to lift the eye. Anyway, this was my rationale as I processed it. That's not to say the fuller color image was unattractive, it's just that I liked this one a little better and why I decided to post it in the UC section because the image was a little out of my bailiwick. Appreciate your comments very much. Thank you.
