Hi Betsy,
thanks for the good hint, I will try it out in the future with a more original colourful photo, this here includes only 1% colour so it doesn't make sense here, but lets see with others...
I'm not 100% sure if I exactly know how to do it, but I will try and come back to you if I will get stuck :)
Thanks again
Cheers,
Verena

There are so many wonderful lines, diagonals and reflections of reflections in this one and the horizontal crop is a plus. I like the results I get using an Adjustment Layer to convert color to b/w. Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Gradient Map - OK - (then choose the black to white gradient in the default pull down choices). Give it a try, it's a nice way of putting a b/w layer on top of the background color layer and you can get some nice effects changing the transparency of the top b/w layer to let just some of the original color show through, much richer than a duotone.

You do cryptic crosswords in ten minute, don't you. This thing does look very cool.

@Telmo, as I love to get more of your great comments, you're almost a kind of motivation for me ;) (joke with serious background!!)
Kiss,

@Hugo, I hope the head light of your car has also clear glass in front, 'cause my own old Twingo still has a strutured plastic front, so it would bring a rather bad result :(
I was myself surprised how well it came out :)
It was one of my come/see/win shots ;)
Beeing proud of ending on your favourite list!!!
Cheers,
Verena
PS: Now I'm working with PS 6.0 and this time the conversion into b&w was done in the channel mixer, more complicated, but I think better result...

Hi Verena, the headlights of a car are so very elaborate products.... And this can only be yours.... (exect if he's a true natural....)
Possibly the composition is a bit too extreme, but it is effective, and very dynamic. I think I'd placed the halogen lamp a bit more to the center (just a bit).
I've added this one to my favourites, and I think I'll definately look at my car in a different perspective next time I drive to work! Brightness, tones and contrasts are perfect.
Great shot!
Cheers,
Hugo

Excellent photo, with many different points of focus, a very good abstract. I have to ask, what is a "Twingo"?
