Hi there photoshop users!!
I need your advice. I just converted to B&W and I think that this picture has much more to tell. Any suggestions on how to improve this B&W?
Thanks in advance!!! |

Welcome to the forum. I would use either the channel mixer or a black and white adjustment layer to get a better range of tone.

hi,
the hermit better than me...
but to me I think maybe some work on color orginal before going to bw
to me there appears to be a lot of haze there in the distance.... cleaning that up would help with contrast for the building and clouds in the sky , a cleaner look ...
now i see some streaks, one big streak, i guess from two pieces of plexiglas (or glass) together and another streak or two, maybe scratch in the plexglass, in either case there very distracting to the over all image.. and removing them i think would improve |

Ooo sweet effect. Kind of retro mixed with modern.
