Stairs to heaven, stairs to hell,
wide and narrow, old and new, fancy and shabby,
sad and merry, used and unused,
wellknown and unknown,
..... lots of them everywhere
pure fun

I have no good result...
Maybe working with the small pic, but it went even more soft totally out of focus
But I think the contrast is on the way to be better.

BTW, I think cropping work is the better part of the pic. I usually try to get the pic into better colors or tones and only then give the final touch to the crop.

PS, I wish Malo was here to show or teach. Someone else ready for it ?

I just think, the BW version needs some PP !!!
This gray and lack of contrast is tru. I am just trying to play with it at the moment

It is lovely enthusiasm on his face. I like it.

But I am not a specialist to give good CC. I usually prefer BW with portraits. I think that there will people, who could advise, how to make it more vivid.
For me the white on the color photo isnt pleasing.

I would read the opinions with interest too. Thatswhy I drag this thread up again

Great, I like the way how the structure comes out !
The overall composition has room for improvement.
BW works really well !

I have a new fav as well
BW lets the sparkle to be more visible.
I guess I overdid with the blue, because I was missing the sparkle.
It needs to be perfect focus too.

Our forecast was changed. No threat of -20 any more.
Sweden and Norway are good companions to Canada. In some places it was close to -40.

I hope to see beauuuutiful pic-s from your trip, Mike (Clee Hills etc)
