what a wonderful image and so well done. I have tried many shots like this and I know how hard it is to get some shading and texture in the snow and still have it look like snow. nice image ...

thanks KG I think i will investigate other avenues to saving see what if any differences there are

thanks for all the good information it seems I should try different ways of saving.

you have a flare for the dramatic :-) ok  ok the devil made me say that.  I love  this image well seen and being in the right place at the right time sure is nice.  If it were mine which it is not ...

for me an improvement but what you think is more important. I like now how the line of trees on the left has more tonalities and contrast. Did you try any cropping to see if it works better in a ...

I thought I was addressing you :-) sorry for any confusion.  I understand your point perfectly I just wanted to remind us that there are no real absolutes including the one quoted.  I have ...

Thats not fair you know how much I love lamp posts, darn near as much as grass. Nice brooding image

yup that was my favorite as well, The problem is I get just what I want in photo shop then save it using the save for web tool. then when I post it here or try to, I more often then not have to go ...

great composition  what I like so much is how you have a lot of interest in the sky its not overpowering the subject. I like this one

thanks for your input. I hope you read all the above where I mentioned how originally I thought the second looked a bit lighter and some blocked highlights and then thought there was no ...

its a difficult composition. you want to lead me down the road which visually ends abruptly at the trees in the back. While intellectually we are quite sure it curves around visually we are ...

while I understand where your going with this your closing remark "Simply converting an image to B&W does not in and of itself make it interesting." is not always true. Because Black and white ...

while I agree that subject and content important we must be on guard not to let our like or dislike of a subject matter or image content to cloud our thinking when making comments about others ...

dramatic sky and dramatic building whats not to like.  I think if your able it would be good to get the building a whisker brighter but then it very well could be your intent to make them as dark ...

you missed my point so perhaps I was not clear. because the sensor  is twenty four mgs even an image made with only a fifty mm coverage will be at least four which for street is more than enough. ...

good thought I generally agree. Given the learning curve for those of us not brought up with black and white so to speak knowing what works in black and white or indeed what makes an image work ...

nope neither one. I would opt for the Leica Q. that twenty eight mm fast lens and big sensor  mean you do not have to stop to zoom or change lenses just concentrate on whats going on in front of you

the first image in your black and white rendition for me is exquisite. It has a soft dreamy quality which I find engaging. You are right up against the imaginary brink of how far you can push the ...
