I really like the slight sepia tinge you added.

OK, I do realize that that one was a little (well maybe a lot) over the top. This is my latest effort. A slight sepia tinge power lines and hydrant gone. I also used that warp tool again to straighten the trees up just a little. Now I'm off to see Jim's in "Pending".

Exactly, Jim, a lovely conversion....though Steve's version maybe conveys the desperation of that never ending snowfall.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Steve - see the shot I stuck in pending for more of what I was thinking.

Jim

I agree with Traveller - a bit harsh.

Yikes, Steve, you're not going to like me for this....but minus the hydrant, I prefer the color version in Pending....or, maybe as Jim has noted, this seems like a fairly harsh B/W conversion.

Best Wishes, Traveller

A little extreme but it has sort of grown on me. I have moved the other version to pending as per Jim's suggestion. I really appreciate all the suggestions you are all putting forth.
