I really like this treatment. Were you playing with the Gradient Map again? Thanks for posting that url. I have really enjoyed Helen's tutorial and have experimented quite a bit.

@Helen: Yes, I just reversed the order of black and white using the gradient map. Thanks for all your comments Helen!

A beautiful haunting effect you've created here Craig.
That gradient map is brilliant, I use it to do selective colouring too.
Here's a link you might enjoy, lots of techniques I've been learning from it, as in my post today :)

I really like the b/w conversion on this one. I think I like it better than the original. And thanks, Helen, for the link...I've printed it off and will give it a whirl!

the black and white conversion is great! it's as powerful as its colored version.

I really like the focus and the grey shades, an image that is hiding a secret :)

It's a little sad in greyscale, but still lovely.
