More shots from the greenhouse visit. A little more detail this time.

Several of the faithful have suggested this series might look good in black and white. I converted two photos in Topaz Black and White Effects as well as Nik Silver Effects Pro (a gift from Google). Here is one shot and you can see the original color shot here.

It does look converted to B&W but my preference is for the close-in second image. I like the detail and the limited blue and gold colour palette.
Thanks, Meander. I like this one too, without any background sky. I like the isolation.
As one of “the faithful”, thanks for the b&w!
Thanks, Mel. I wouldn’t have posted this if I didn’t like it, too.
That’s right: it’s your bog and you get to choose what to post. And what to title the posts, too, right?!
Absolutely. I’m back to song titles again. That’s where I started.
Does work very well in monochrome…
Thanks, Alessandro. I have another version with a slight sepia tone that is very nice, too.
This is an excellent example of working your subject, both with the camera and in the computer. Both the color and black & white versions have merit, and of course it’s ultimately up to you.
I love these kinds of roadside “finds” and only wish for more time to explore them!
Thanks, Tom. I agree. It pays to keep an eye out for opportunities in transit as long as you also keep your eyes on the road.
Love that last one!
Thanks, dands. I was surprised that it made the transition this well.
Every shot reveals something more about this fantastic building. You really found a gem here, Ken. It suite both colour and black and white equally as that last shot proves.
Thanks, Andy. I do like the black and white but I still favor the color at this point. It’s what initially attracted me to the greenhouses.
Great find, Ken. I really like the repeating patterns of the windows and frames. Nice architectural images and that B&W conversion works nicely.
Thanks, Jimi. I could have use my old shift/tilt lens (if I still had it)!
Seeing the colour and black and white I prefer the colour too. Great shots, what fun you must have had taking these pictures.
Thanks, ehpem. Its discovering a scene like this that a photographer can work for quite a while (or at least until the light lasts). This was a fun shoot.
