Okay! So, I'm not entirely sure how I ended up with this conversion of my original image, which I will post in my Other Favs album. I did convert to b&w, messed around with presets, and tried my hand at masking. Couldn't figure out how to remove the mound of snow in the background so decided to quit once I got an approximate result I was looking for. Trial and error seemed to work better than trying to read about masking... See original photo here: https://365project.org/bjywamer/others-which-de/2024-02-13
