B&W with more contrast

(2637) [2008-08-16 08:48:33]

Several comments identified that the B&W version was lacking contrast. Some others thought the scene would be better without the topmost cloud.
I've tried to address those issues here. Please let me know what you think.

Please let me know if this B&W works and if you prefer the colour or B&W better. Thanks in advance. Karin

B/W conversion

First I tried to correct the colour cast on the original by using CSpringer Digital Grey Card action for Photoshop.
I then used a B/W adjustment filter and selected the red filter preset (thanks for the tip k-2 :))
Finally I used CSpringer Paint With Light action for Photoshop to try and bring out a little more shadow detail and try to paint a light path created by the light formation.

Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Jens

Shadow/highlight + velvia vision

I worked most in shadow/highlight option. But please look further than the standard screen. Open the advanced options dialog box!!

Shadows, amount 24%, 73% tonal width, 30 pix radius
Highlights, 26%, 89% tonal width, 30 pix radius
Color correction adjustment +33
Midtone contrast +20
black clipping 2%
White clipping 4%

Then some Velvia Vision plugin, to just punch up the dynamic range and a bit of colour contrast.

Hope you like it!

Velvia Vision

I used the Velvia Vision plugin to add dynamic range. It balances the light, without touching the whites and blacks, but the range in between. This makes the foreground shadow a bit lighter.
Then some sun added with an enhancement in the colour toning and some contrast in the colour edges. Hope you like it!

As usual Paul had a good idea and suggested that I try B&W followed by sepia. Thanks Paul. Karin
