Mel, it`s cool to see your 16 mm in mono… it SO works. And your tonal range is unique. How did you convert to get that gorgeous balance? Nice work, as per normal!!
Paul Tupman
Wow! Mel, this is awesome! I love the colour of this.. had to say that first as I’m a big fan of these kind of tones… secondly and perhaps more importantly, its a great shot to begin with.. love the framing and perspective and the detail in the tree is great. Another favourite!

Love these tones, Mel. The framing is perfect and the detail in the trees is fantastic.

Thanks so much everyone. I use an action from Digidaan for most of my black and white conversions. Then add curves to get the tones.
