Very nice set, the 2nd and 4th really stand out for me because of the shapes and textures

These are inspiring! Who knew that Black and White could replace color like this?

These are all fascinating and very nicely done!

Images like these may yet drag me to the uncolorful (dark) side. #1, 3, and 4 are the ones that are sending me back to my stash wondering how my shots of these scenes would work.
My color renditions don't grab me as much as these do.

Thanks Ben, this place is FULL of em! While color does look nice here, I think B&W holds its own. But man, both look stunning on metallic. I'm in love with that finish!
Thanks a lot, Leslie! We barely scratched the surface of Arizona - what a gorgeous state.
And B&W is SO versatile - check out Silver Efex Pro 2 in the Google Nik Collection (but sounds like DxO might have recently purchased it), which is free. It's really killer software for B&W conversions and I really like it.Thank you for the kind words, Barry!
Glad you liked them, Jim! So many lines and textures in these slots - I could spend hours in just one room and leave with twenty different comps without blinking an eye. So cool!
Come on over, Alan, the water is fine.
Seriously, though - going back through your library looking for good conversion candidates is like a chance to search for more gold. You never know what you're gonna find!Jeff

Exactly my friend!!! Life is simpler with just blacks, whites and greys to contend with.
The color versions are very nice too, but heart with always prefer b&w. Thanks for the kind words!I'm glad you liked them, Jim! They were super fun to shoot. I even had my wife in there with my backup body and a tripod snapping away - she actually came away with a handful of very nice shots!

Wow, surreal blending of shapes, tones, lines and composition. All are great with #4 and #5 as my favorites.
