melueth for this challenge. Please use photo #2 and create a
black and white version. Then we'll compare pros and cons to my color interpretation
Many thanks!
Don't edit this one, use #2
The raw was too large to load; this is a converted, unedited jpg.

Here's my contribution. It will be fun to see what others come up with. Thanks for the challenge.

Thank you! This is really nice - a feeling of lightness that's appropriate to the scene IMO. The flowers and leaves contrast beautifully.
Here is my attempt. I'm not sure a B&W can surpass your original color version but I am willing to try.

Thanks Keni! I like the darker hills and the luminance (maybe wrong term) of the flowers. I shouldn't have used "pros and cons" in my opening. I really only meant that there are likely some very different stories here once we remove color. Do you think Admin would increase the hour limit on editing our words to four hours?

Luminance is a good word. I tried hard to capture the "glow" in B&W. Not as easy as it is in color I think.

Thanks Christina! I like how you gave more definition and contrast to the tall grasses.

Thanks. I used a new technique that I just learned.

First, create a graduated radial filter, with the check mark in "show selected mask overlay".
Then, click on Brush WITHIN the radial tool and select ERASE that is below all the sliders. Erase areas you don't want affected by the filter.
Third, turn off the overlay mask and adjust sliders for the look you want.
Fourth, for more precise control, use the Range Mask (below the brush size and feather). Turn the overlay mask back on; then choose color or luminance. Reduce feather to 0. Click on the dropper and select the area with the color you want to control; then reduce the density until just the area you wish to change is shown in the mask.
Lastly, turn off the mask overlay and adjust the sliders for the desired affect.
This is a really neat trick for faces when using the round radial filter, especially for exposure, saturation and clarity. Also, if you have multiple faces to adjust, you can right click the filter to copy it, then drag to another face and adjust. This saves having to reinvent the filter for every face.
The attached photo is where I applied this to the sky. Have fun with it.

What an interesting and fun exercise! I vote for Keni's as the best so far... it presents an entirely different aspect to the shot, and illustrates the differences in mood possible between b/w and color.
Great color image as the starting point, Linda.
