Thanks guys, the feedback is appreciated. All were processed in Lightroom 1.1, and basically (2) and (3) were treated in pretty much the same way to achieve almost a Dragan effect (if that's the right terminology). There is also a Lightroom Preset which achieves pretty much the same thing, but I now prefer to 'create' my own 'look' rather than simply apply someone else's.

Personally, I'm still not sure about (3). I might have pushed it too far, but nothing wrong with a bit of experimentation now and then. That's why the feedback is so useful. Here's a few more conversions:

Mike, these are great shots. I love them in BW; very artistic! But I think in color, and the way you worked with contrasts, they give a very moving and sad feeling that is very appropriate for the subject; something like a bad dream!
Great work!

Mike,

Can you share more details of your Lightroom process especially if there was a preset you used for these photos ? Thanks so much !
 
For bbodine 9 and Derek......

Apologies for the late reply. For starters, have a look at this page of Lightroom Presets: http://inside-lightroom.com/cp.php

Scroll down til you find the Dragan presets, I think there are seven in total. I used these as a starting point and then went off on my own path! Unfortunately I didn't save the finished article as a preset, simply synching the result of the first image processing to a selection of other images. I must have a look at how I can save what I've done as a preset.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

Mike
