Another photo from our trip up Dog Mtn. When we initially started, they day was very overcast and we thought the highlight would be the hike itself. However, when we arrived at the top, the sky began to clear, and it was incredibly blue.

I wasn't sure if b/w would work better, so I'll post a workshop, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Very limited PS: mild curves and frame.

Hi Don, in this workshop I wanted to increase the light in the shadows of the trees and in the lighter portion of the snow only. I didn't want to touch the colour. With curves then I placed a couple of anchors to protect the mid-range of tones (the sky and the shadows in the snow). I then increased the lighter portion of the snow and the shadows in the trees. I played only with RGB. For the re-post I sharpened slightly with smart sharpen (45,.5). I hope you approve of the changes.

I have removed the copy from my terminal.

Regards, John

I would appreciate any feedback you might have. I really like b/w here and I'm searching for a good b/w technique. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Kindest regards,

Don
