Very nice conversion. Great grey scale.

Nice contrast! Nice photo to try your hand at B&W conversion.

My monitor is not calibrated so I am going to ask a question that someone else can answer for me. Is the white of the stars and eagle tail showing true white on your monitors? It is a very light gray on mine.

Thank you both for looking and posting! You're right, the eagle's tail is not quite white. Let's see if we can do something about that!

I see a difference and it is definitely more toward white but still slightly gray. As I said...it could be because I have never calibrated the monitor. Guess I should look into the equipment to do it.

I do think its a great photo and I think it is great in B&W. I look forward to seeing more of your conversions as you progress.

Nice shot/Nice conversion Ben. B/W looks alright to me, but I lighten up and increase contrast a little for better detail.

What do you think Ben??

The eagle tail and stars show up white on my monitor in this photo.

Glad you like it Ben. Sometimes B/W and indoors need to lighten up overall to get the better whites.
