Lots of mood here between the gloomy sky, depressed looking elephant, and dead trees. The processing and toning further emphasizes that too.

A very creative conversion. I like it.

I really like this Mario. It looks like a print made from an old negative and has an atmosphere about it that I find very appealing.

NIce. The monochrome and clouds make it look a little bleak, though this is likely not the case. Just glad to see a live elephant.

The sepia toning really adds to the moodiness of the scene Mario. Well seen and processed. It does indeed look like a B&W print. What process did you use for conversion, PS or NIK? Beautiful work.

Hi Everyone and thanks for the comments ....... To achieve this result that does in fact remind you of a B&W print, I converted in Silver Efex Pro 2 and toned in LR3.

Regards,

Mario
