Another shot from my Valley of the Gods visit. This photo was taken during the blue hour in the early morning. I didn't care too much for the colors, so I decided to see what a BW would look like and this is what I produced.

My post processing is constantly evolving, so hopefully this version is somewhat interesting (in a good way).

The road is a simple 17-mile loop through Valley of the Gods, and can be traversed in any family sedan. Camping here is free, and there are a number of available campsites with breathtaking views.

I like this with the road leading-line through the scene.
But the image looks flat, lacking contrast.
I think it would benefit with some brightness/gamma & contrast adjustments on the color version, then B&W convert.
Or you could try some curves adjustment to accomplish.

Thanks for posting

Hi Jonathan,

The composition is wonderful, but this doesnt seem like a B&W, but just Gray&Gray... add some contrast as Dan Suggests, get some true Black and white in this, and you will have a really fine shot.

Nice composition but is the low contrast intentional?
