Great B&W!! I’m currently sorting through shots from 5 days in Zion. There are those that jump out, and then there are those that I’ll look at again in a few weeks. Glad to know it’s not just me!

Amazing how B&W changes things, beautiful job with the pp! As for marinating, I once heard Freeman Patterson speak on the subject and he suggested not looking at ANY of your photos for 3 to 6 months after you’ve taken them; he said something about waiting until your not emotionally attached to the image. Of course he shoots film and doesn’t have to worry about hard drive space.

Thats a fantastic B&W, very powerful compared to the color version. I completely agree with the “marinading” approach, sometimes new post-processing techniques you learn can be used to take it that step further… or just time to make your mind take a new approach to it.
