SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
29 SEPTEMBER 2018
"LEADING LINES IN BLACK AND WHITE
(Minimal post-processing is allowed for this challenge)

I normally use the Channel Mixer in Photoshop 6 to convert colour shots to Black & White. But the result was very flat. I, therefore, settled for one of the Presets in Silver Efex Pro 2. Still a bit flat though :-(
I left the sliders alone :-)

Ronald Stachowiak, Nouchetdu38, Berny, Annemarie and 31 other people have particularly liked this photo

Gudrun ^club

A very good contribution to the challenge, lovely lines and something of interest in the background. I know what you mean about "flat", I also would have liked to use the sliders in my photo...;-) But in spite of that your photo has turned out very well!
