From the thumbnail I thought that bird was on fire! (or made to look like it.) I was afraid to open this and see all of the outraged hollering in the comments! Silly me...it's just a magical chickadee. Everybody likes those!

First I see gwe21's submission, then I moved on to timfythetoo's, and now yours. Three amazing examples of B&W processing. Added all three to my favorites so that I can refer back and see how I'm progressing.

You and Gwe21 do such fantastic B&W conversions! I've really got to learn how to do this... Her eyes are captivating. Crystal clear, with even a great amount of detail in the iris.

You were able to pull a remarkable amount of detail out of this. Great job!

I can't believe you sat on these! SERIOUSLY!! I'm really in awe of your black and white processing. Makes me realize how much I've got to learn. ;-)

When I first started lurking around DPC, I stumbled upon this entry and it's stuck in my head since then. The processing is just awesome, and it was very deserving of that ribbon!

OK. I like this edit the best. I would have picked the first edit, but the gradient background kind of makes the statue look like it's floating and not attached to anything. Maybe if you painted in some more black on that left bottom corner? Just a thought.

Wow. Rotating this was a great idea. I don't know why, but it just looks better facing the other way! I also really like the added blue hues. Mu only complaint would be the purple/pinkish halos in the white areas at the top. No idea how to help you fix that, so I'll leave that to some of the real PS gurus in the group. :-)

Reminds me of something that Alfred Hitchcock would have liked!

Now that I look at it, I should have completely gotten rid of that far post instead of trying to level it off. Maybe I'll fix it just for giggles.
