How would you edit this photo?

[robb01]

I'm just not sure, I think it could look great in black and white, any ideas?

I'll give it a shot, wait for it.

ive done a quick black and white edit, I was going to wait for compaq to post his first but I have to go out shortly so here you go, it lookes better in black and white imo

 

[bogeyguy]

I may have gone a little over board lol. You'll have to decide. Cool looking in monochrome!

my poles are washed out!

Some cloning later:

No amount of B&W fiddling will fix those cruelly distorted columns.
I would fix those first (and uncook the saturation a bit) before converting.

I personally like the color better

What's the best way to fix this distortion? Lens corrections in light room or PS? I'm just trying to learn for future shots.

Thanks for the info.

The pin cushion distortion with that lens is pretty severe. I didn't do any distortion correction, just a quick B&W version.

I've never tried in LR but if PS has the spec for your lens, I would try it there.

True ancient Greek architecture has one mystery: How they managed to fool the human eye by not building perfectly straight, plumb and square. They managed to use a lot of 'hidden' tricks to create a 'corrected' perspective.

Black and white is the way to go.

This is my try, not perfect but at least I tried.
