Hi Scott,
Great subject for B/W conversion - Strong lines and alternating patterns.
On my screen, I realized that several large sections of your image were completely "black". Ideally, in a B/W image, one needs to avoid completely "white" and completely "black" area, or just a touch. With photo programs, the detection of these areas is fairly easy. I tried to touch it up by decreasing the "shadows" and "blacks" to avoid these area.   Posted: 12/04/2025 14:11:09

Scott, Very interesting perspective! Good subject. I'd just check one detail in post-processing. When I viewed your image full screen on my laptop, there was significant "outlining" at dark/light transitions (especially where the sky meets the building on the right side). It can be symptomatic of having the "pixel radius" too large when sharpening the image. If you had a radius of 2 or 3 pixels, you might try "1 pixel" radius. Otherwise very good.   Posted: 12/16/2025 16:16:00
