Hi, again .... I took the liberty of putting up a couple of variations on your photo. They can be found here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~sbelinkoff/guarav/ I've also included a small document that provides some suggestions for converting color images to B&W. Maybe you'll find it useful, if not now, perhaps some day. My apologies for the image quality. Viewing them in the browser and a couple of other image viewing programs seems to strip out some color and tonality when compared to viewing them in Photoshop, where your original was adjusted. Still, you can probably get the idea of what my thought process was and a good idea of the comparative results along the way. Hope this gets you to thinking more about composition, the use of color, and so on. You're heading in the right direction, imo.
