 Playing around with creating better B&Ws.

Levels
USM
Resized
saturated red, magenta, yellow
desaturated
sharpened

voila!

I'm happy with this - details are good and it's crisp. I tried the same method with another one and it worked, too.

By the way - this is totally natural. The sun comes in through the skylight in the mornings and Cosima seeks out that spot to take a nap. This photo is not cropped at all.

Very good detail on a black cat...mine never gets his picture taken because I can never get good details like these.

Great leading lines created by the sun, and the strip of light makes for a great frame for the cat

I struggle personally with sharpening on my own shots...I love clear but sometimes overdo it a fraction and possibly the same is true here

Dont know why but I also find the tablecloth in the background really appealing for some reason

Nice learning experience with the editing. Nice leading line from the pool of sunlight. Makes for a comfortable composition.

Overall I really like the frozen moment aspect of it and feel it is better than previous shot. Pretty cat!!

The sunshine give his (her?) fur an interesting texture. Nicely done.
