Two versions of one photo:

- first is original colour version (quick scan with V500, some quick and dirty corrections to difficult colour situation in scene)
- second is quick and dirty attempt to simulate "ilford HP5 pushed to 3200" (i know i give it too much unsharp masking)

i have few totally different opinions about both versions, so what you think about them?

1.

2.

I also welcome other attempts to b&w conversion

BW is much better, I think. More mysterious ...

Worked enough BW in my past.
Moved to the color with no regret. I am not a fan of the BW photography...probably because I've seen too much crap BW (mine included , of course Laughing

)
But Paul is right : the BW is way better . It catches the eye ! A good attempt .
