Hi

Does anyone use HDR with black and white photos?
I do love the effect of HDR, and also black and white. So why not both?

Take this one at Lisbon, it is white stone.

The monument is this one:

What effects do you use in your photos when you want to give them a bit more look?
HDR is nice, but i learn that to much effect can make them ugly. So i use only 0,75 steps or 1 step.
then i usually work with "selective colors", work around "whites" values, "blacks" values. Saturation and contrast. some pictures i go to sharpen options.
This picture i used a bit of everything...
