Abstract... What do you think?

[JoshC.]

Took this one today. Rather than explain, I'll just ask you what you think?

I think I'd like it better if it had some colour; I see something soft and pastel-y being suitable for this image.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Keith, thank you for the edit. Mine was almost SOOC, aside from a few adjustments in light room. I prefer the simplicity of the black and white in this case.

You are the only person you need to satisfy.

Lightroom is not a good tool for doing B&W conversions if you convert from a color image, but if it's all you have.......

Thanks Keith, yes, that was what I was meaning, but looking at it, I'm not sure it looks as good on-screen as it did in my mind.

Thanks for the support What would you suggest for B&W conversions?

 

[KKJUN]

Why wouldn't Lightroom be a good tool?

 

[KmH]

Lightroom cannot do layers, and Lightroom's dodge and burn functions are somewhat rudimentary.

Photoshop CS offers more options for editing: like Layers and Layer styles, better masking controls, channels, and the LAB color space (CIELAB D50).
