Nice B&W conversion.
Did you do any editing?
Thank you! Yes, quite a bit. I saved many of my Ireland images in raw and jpeg and uploaded the raws to my computer. Yesterday, I opened this one in Elements 2026 and went through a few intermediate steps in Nik Color Efex before converting it to black and white in Nik Silver Efex. I don't always shoot raw and jpeg with my Pixel, but when I am on a trip with some remarkable sites, I often do. I find the auto editing Google does with the jpegs bakes in a lot of stuff that can detract from images I may want to savor a bit. Even so, I will edit many shots with the in camera app even converting to black and white and sharing. Here is one of those. All editing done in camera soon after the shot was taken. It is the Muckross House which stands before the lake seen in the first pic.

Thanks for the reply. I hardly use my smartphone to take pictures (I shoot mostly wildlife), but I have seen some remarkable images taken with smartphones. I believe they have found their place especially in landscape and portrait photography.
You did very good job on both images
