I posted this in my last thread, but wasn't sure if anyone would see it, so here it is again.

This is a shot of a lady, 3 barefoot girls and some birds in a park in Paris.

I haven't ever tried converting a color photo to black and white before. I think I like this picture more as a B&W.

The first photo is gorgeous, but the second photo is really special--the three girls, the elderly lady, and pigeons, all in one photo tell a story, and with all of that the photo is not too busy. That is remarkable.

...but I just adore the first one. The water having the green stuff growing on it actually enhances the reflection and makes the straight architectural elements take on a more earthy and organic feel.
