Popeye in B&W*

Popeye is a B&W Blue Heeler/Aussie Sheperd mix, now converted to B&W. His name Popeye for the white ring around his eye. The background is our fire ring from our campout earlier in the week.

That sounds complicated Jano, you must be brainy:-) I sometimes use lab colour to sharpen in the Lightness channel & for B&W conversion. It gives a good tonal range. But I forget how to do it sometimes & don't bother:-)

Thanks Rod - I've learned a new B&W PS conversion way of doing things. It has to do with lab color, grayscale, layers, layer masks, RGB's, etc etc. Not sure technically what I'm doing, but I experimented with it on this shot and I think it gives it a dimensional feel. jano

Sounds a bit silly but I like the colouring in this shot. Also the shot works well with the smoke in the background & side view of the dog.
