Cool macro shot...very high contrast lighting...how does it look in B&W with the contrast bumped up? Just curious as I love the color of gold in B&W...it has a great tone and you can play with the saturation to get even more 'looks' from it.
@tasian Hi, Ken - thanks for the suggestions... I gave it a try, but I don't have any fancy editing software (like Photoshop), so it looked flatter than the rich copper in the color version. I did like how the shapes played better in the b&w, though. I really appreciate the suggestions - would love more! Thanks.
