Description

We got hit with a blast of winter Saturday night. Winter is here to stay.
This was a 3 image HDR taken at sunset, converted to b/w with a gradient map and then enhanced with the RGB channel. I played around with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 filters.

It's a fabulous image... I didn't imagine anyone with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 would still do conversions the "old fashioned" way, but it has worked marvelously for you. #9790669
