I like the b&w tones and textures, Ciprian...

In black and white it looks great Ciprian... The tones are the right ones... but the color one is more appealing to the eyes in my humble opinion...
Cheers,
MaLuisa

Color is more appealing, right. But B&W is more appropriate, IMO, needs just more contrast. I tried out a red filter effect, with more contrast and a tad more space for the hut, sepia toned. What do you think ?

Agree 100%! Many thanks for the comment and working on my image; much better than the original.
Regards,
Ciprian

Carsten, what software did you use for this? I am interested in replicating the red-filter effect, but I don't know how do do this in PS 7.
Thanks,
Ciprian

Ciprian, I used a PS plugin, called "Convert to B/W Pro", from theimagingfactory, $$ but the most powerful and easy tool for this purpose IMO.
The best PS "free" method is probably the PS "Channel mixer". There are other ways (desaturate, Hue/ Saturation) for B&W, but the Channel mixer is most versatile.
Image > Adjustments > Channel mixer shows you a color preview, check the "monochrome" box, you see the preset with default slider positions (Red 100%, Green and Blue 0%). It is the preset in PS and resembles a B&W shot with a deep red filter in film terms.
You can now play with the sliders and try 100% Blue, 0% Red and Green: Looks different, right ? That is as if you shot with a deep blue filter. You are free to try combinations of the sliders.
What about RGB 150/-30/-20 % ? Goes to IR effect... to get balanced tones, the percents of the slider should always add to 100%. That is all ! At last, you can fine-tune with the "constant" slider for tonality.
