Point taken, Cat. Thanks for your kindness in your comment, too. How about now? (This is the beauty of working with layers... a simple click and it's gone. *grin* ) ~Lydia

Wow, Beautiful Lydia!! this is very nice b/w almost looks like a pencil drawing. However, I don't really see that it gives a "zone" or Ansel feel. Not sure how to describe it, but zone is about how to capture a correct "negative" and processing it to make a good positive out to of it, using digital tools of dodge/burn/contrast,levels,curves. I think it has moved away too far from being a photograph. I don't see any connection to the negative, or the captured image, the pencil like finish is too overwhelming.
