Re: B&W concversions 2
Ken, I don't think you gained much by converting to B&W. Did you try working with shadows and highlights to bring out the details in the trees?

Re: B&W concversions 2
I don't think there is anything wrong with the conversion, but I feel that this was maybe not a good subject for a B & W. There's no real primary focal point in the image and there are large swathes of very similar tone across the image.

Re: B&W concversions 2
Thank you Ken and Donald for your most useful comments. Take your point about the subject matter being not the best of choices. I guess I have lost the plot slightly in that I have become a bit single mindedly over zealous in the technique of B&W conversion at the expense of good subject selection. Time to take a step back for a more balanced approach. And yes Ken, I did use the Shadows and highlights filter. Maybe I should have used it more selectively on the back ground hills.
Thank you both for your help.
