Hi Karen,
I found this picture by accident browsing the recent comments :-)
like the shot and the position of this brave boy facing the waves :-)
I agree with the other UF members that, by the conversion of this shot to b&w we could obtain interesting effect and in some cases quite different picture;
there is also one think I would suggest to rethink - the composition. IMHO the most important "object" on that shot is your boy and the wave - as I said earlier I like the position of the boy compared to the wave but I think that, compared to the rest of the shot, there is too much distracting space at the bottom and at the top of the shot. This space adds nothing to the shot and what's worse - it destroys the whole effect of the boy's position.
I suggest to alter it slightly.
My vision you can find below.
Anyway, like this picture
regards and take care
Lukasz

Karen?
Toni BauerleinSehnert is right. This is another example of a beautiful shot which could benefit from a B&W conversion. A subjective choice like all choices we make... but I love beach scenes (probably never quite the same after recent events) and I think they deliver much better in B&W.
I think ?Pouty? and ?Hanna? do very well in black and white as well.
I understand a simple conversion works poorly Karen so I?ve included a simple but effective technique to extract the richness of a color picture, using the ?Lightness? method.
With the picture on the screen, go to ?Image?, ?Mode? and convert the picture to ?Lab Color?.
Next click your ?Channels palette? ? you now have a ?Lightness? channel separated from the color information.
Since it is the grey scale we want you click on the ?Lightness? channel to make it active, go to ?Image? menu, and click ?Greyscale?. Click OK to discard the other channels.
The channels pallet only shows the Gray channel.
On the Layers pallet click the background layer and press the ?Control-J? keys to duplicate the layer.
And switch the Blend mode of the duplicated layer from ?Normal? to ?Multiply?.
Image is probably quite dark, but it now that you lower the opacity to arrive at your desired (and much richer? tonal balanced destination.
Stay cool.
C

That period in our children's lives is so short. And what a fond memory. To think you can yell at the waves...priceless. T.

Thanks Toni, He was yelling at the waves. He was so cute that day. He had a shovel and he would yell at the waves and pound on the sand and when a wave would come up he would run from it like it was chasing him, then run back down as it disappeared to do it all over again. It's hard to believe he is seven now.

I love his stance. This is very sweet too. I like what you've done with it. The color is nice. I'd try it in BW just for fun. Both this and the other might work well with the grainy effect. T.
