Hi Saad, thank you for correcting the white balance. The foreground ladies are now really B&W much better than before. The background however using the same Lightroom operator gets unnaturally blue so I suggest to apply a selective filter excluding the background in the filtering process. I suppose that a commercial package would do the selective job easily. My white balance correction was done with Picasa3 (free download from Google) Not bad with a lot of basic filtering options but you can not apply different filters on parts of the same image as far as I know.
Best regards,
Paul

Well well Luca it would be very nice to learn from Casanova. Did he make nice photos too ?
My gems got a face-lift using the white-balance because it was not really my intention to make a yellow-black contrast but a real B&W.
All the best my friend,
Paul

Bonjour chère Mojgan,
thanks for your visit and comment. In the mean time it got somewhat colder: I modified the temperature of the chess game obtaining a better B&W contrast of my queens.
Hugs and kisses, Paul

Hi Saad, thanks for your visit and comment. Indeed I could not choose to play either the white or black king. I tried to get some heat out of the ladies by playing with the white-balance and indeed it gets also very cold (blue) outside. I agree that the foreground gets real B&W as it was much more yellow-black before. The best would be the application of a selective white-balance for fore-and background. My biggest problem is however how to explain this all to my queens while keeping their interest in me :-)

they both seems to be the two queens of the same chess they played,and I started to wonder if you are played the king of both the black and white sides,
but since there is a total of three in your about,it seems very likely that you are the king of both side,and I think you are a fine king in this regard,
for a shot subject concerned photographer ,I have to start with that and only at the end,if any,do some talks about the shot itself,just wonder why the white balance seems to be well done outside the room as it looks through the windows view,and a little warm inside,anyhow it doesn't matter at all after seeing your two queens,
my best,
Saad.
