Either the greens of the trees in the background totally screw up my foreground, or the color of water is heinous…. whatever. My solution is to try to work with an otherwise good shot by re developing it… creating a different tone, mood, or message with the enhancement, reduction, or elimination of color. Tools abound for adjusting your color image to black and white with truly stunning effects. I’m not even touching on the “after the black and white” duotone, tritone or quadtone possibilities. Here are some of the initial results.

I’d be more than happy to hear comments and the like… these shots were fun and challenging to shoot.  I was pretty satisfied with the results.  Let me know what you think.
