Thank you. The color version is in my portfolio if you want to compare. I really like converting color photos to B&W in Lightroom. After conversion, it gives you the ability to adjust color temperatures. This is like using color filters for B&W in a darkroom back in the days of film and darkrooms. You can really dial in the B&W effects.
