This is another shot from the church in Taos Pueblo. The steps to the cross seem to be showing the way.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Very graphic Morris. I like the stark contrast and chosen comp.

Dynamite B-W. Graphic and texturally interesting, and a nice storytelling title, to boot.

Thanks, Eva and Craig.

Thanks, Rick. I only have CS3, but convert to B&W after adjustments with levels, curves, then move the sliders to desired effect. For this it was heavy on the yellows, red, and blues. The other colors didn't have much effect for a strong contrast.

Very nice! I like that there is so much white and so much black. I bet the histogram looks something like a U.

this is very effective as a b/w image. I like the lines and the starkness.

Strong image Morris. A well thought out composition and capture in my opinion.

Love your composition and the b/w processing, Morris. The dark sky really makes the whites and form of this church sing. Fantastic image in my opinion.
