rework
So I decided to have a go a reworking my own image that I put up for others in the "Post Process Another's Photo" Forum. (Unprocessed original image is here)
After seeing Les' great conversion to b&w, I thought perhaps a sepia conversion would bring some warmth into it.
I also noticed a comment left by another user that the sky looked a bit bland once the blue was lost in the b&w conversion, so I decided to pop in a more dramatic sky here.
So, what's the verdict on the end result? I think I am still partial to the color version that Pierre did, I just love the green and blue. But I really enjoyed playing with this conversion!

As with the previous images that were post-sweetened, it is interesting to have them side by side for comparative purposes ... which I am doing at the moment.
The clouds or switching out of the skies, done very well I might add by you, adds a great element to the image. And the toning/colouration creates some very nice highlights on the landscape itself. Balancing the two facets of lines and shapes that make your image very appealing ... as it was in it's original presentation.
My own caveat? Might have been tempted to play around with the mixer some more ... and more of out curiosity, in an effort to find more of a middle ground between your version here, and then my own edits. Simply personal tastes and takes.
Yeah, mine looks a tad stark. An extreme, I suppose.
In my own defense, the method I employed and choices within, were done for that reason. How can I state this ... I liked the 'silence' that the scene conveyed, or at least that was an artistic aim. Perhaps, a bit foreboding and not necessarily as inviting as your image here Rebecca.
Pierre's gets the slight nudge from me as well. Conceptually, I think it is a better fit for the photo and in it's final presentation. The quintessential pastural image.
Allll that said, I do like that between us ... and our individual edits ... we presented three very different versions.
And once again, wish to thank you for allowing us this opportunity. :o)

What a difference with my own try... :-)
