The lighting on this original was very soft and pale, and the edge detail just disappeared with any decrease in gamma/exposure. The conversion was a pleasant surprise, as it was exactly what I'd tried to achieve in color, and failed miserably.

The editing is superb, Doug.
It is always good to be pleasantly surprised in photography.

Absolutely gorgeous in B & W. The background & leaves have silver shimmer to them & the rose is perfect. Very creative, Doug.
