How to turn a boring image into a BLACK and WHITE fine art masterpiece. 

Very very nice!!!👍👍👍

Richard, Thank you for demonstrating your technique. What is interesting is your use of basic tools to reach your final edit.

Spectacular shots

Richard, congratulations on a excellent video, this is the information that I have been looking for quite sometime now. Many many thanks. I might have to contact you again with a few more questions if that is OK with you.👍

Simple and nice

Thanks Richard, very well explained. I used to live in Valletta in a house opposite where you have taken the shot.

very interesting developing and processing techniques Richard. thanks for sharing.

Good tip about the multiple gradients

Thank you, Sir!! I learned something new from your tutorial.

HI Richard, Great results and explanation of your processing work flow. Many thanks.

Very detailed video. I like it, please keep it up 👍

Don't get me wrong here Richard. It's perfectly ok to prefer Monotone but it is in reality no finer than the superb richness that colour has to offer. I love colour and regard monotone as being one of two things - either newspaper quality or worthy of it being a model from which to produce a graphite pencil drawing. It is either art or it isn't. the work itself is only a reflection of the skill of the srtist. A picture can be a masterpiece when the artist has enough skill to be considered a master. "Fine" art means far too many things to too many people for it to have any real meaning. you prefer a monotone masterpiece and that is ok but "fine says nothing. We see in colour and to me colour is far removed from being boring.
