Wonderful B&W Sandy of a beautiful old mill. I love the texture of old wooden buildings in B&W which you captured well in this image. Just a minor nit, the brightness of the sky in upper center,pulls my eye away from that wonderful wood.

I've seen many pictures of this grist mill with the river as a leading line, but never in B&W and as a close up without the surrounding enviroment. Shows the character of the mill and the textures of the wooden planks nicely. Well done! :toast:

That's a beauty Sandy! The wall or fence in the LRC is a bit distracting, but a lovely image. :smile:

Great conversion, Sandy. The attributes of the wooden planking and the shingled roof are nicely depicted. I agree with Eva about the brightness of the sky in the upper center, but that could be easily adjusted I think. Good job.

That is a tranquil setting. It feels like a window back to the 1800s. Nice work!

This looks great in b/w Sandy. A nice touch for this old mill. The tones and textures are very nice. I like the close up look too.

As good a shot of this as I have ever seen, Sandy! I agree about pulling the brightness in the sky back a bit, but you have the old mill glowing in this one!

This encourages me to attempt some B&W. Well done, Sandy.
