This is not a back and white picture.

Inspired by an earlier thread, I just set saturation to zero. No filters applied, real or computerized.



Original is 16MP, effectively 24mm focal length, pulling the foreground forcefully into the picture.
Minimal processing. Any resemblance to the work of Ansel Adams is entirely intentional.

4. Print it (the old fashioned way) on the paper called "Portriga Rapid" and --

it'll look like Ansel Adams.

Whatever you print it on, it's very beautiful.
