Hi Gary. Hope all is well. B&W is a nice change here. All of these are well done, with # 1,3,10 and of coarse the shorties in #6 & 12 my favorites.

Fantastic set Gary, it's refreshing to see B&W renditions of a set of beautiful images.

All's very well John. Hope the same for you ! I'm heading on a cross country roadtrip shortly and have a few cool spots planned so hopefully I'll have something to share shortly. Appreciate the feedback !

That works well. I think the whites can be whiter rather than light gray in most of these, but I still like the low contrast approach.

I wasn't really going for a low contrast approach so that's good info. I always worry about blowing highlights when I convert to B&W but maybe there's some room to increase that a bit. Really appreciate the input Jeffrey.

Egrets work for me. Prefer color for all the others.
