So here they are the Connecticut Zen series (I - IV), Connecticut Zen V doesn't count it was in color.

I then added a "grain" layer then adjusted the brightness and contrast using curves adjustment layers. It think the new conversions worked out much better than the previous versions, all except Connecticut Zen IV was a marked improvement. As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored. ========== Nice. I hadn't seen the bird one before, nice shot. I really like it. My eyes are not adjusted to view tonal variations as much as some people's eyes are. :-) So in some cases I can't see a big difference, but in some I do. Especially the last one. Very, very nice series. Marnie aka Doe :-) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
