Thanks Joffre, for the nice web sites !
and Thank you all for your comments on the photograph.
Russel: I selected the Log by making use of the Magnetic Lasso tool. Then i inverted the selection and de-saturated the picture so that everything else except the Log got converted into B&W .... i adjusted the saturation control so that some slight green was left in the trees because i liked it that way.
Dawna: I think you are right. Using B&W films is perhaps the way to go if one has to get nice B&W pictures..... i believe that the type of b&w film and the printing process will also control how the scene is rendered on the print......since i no longer have access to a dark-room, I have stopped shooting B&W now and am trying to utilize PS capabilities to make B&W pictures.
cheers

Sameer, this is beautiful and a unique spin on waterfall images as well. It appear you lose a little bit of sharpness towards the top of the image, but nonetheless very nice.
You are shooting film and imho I think that converting to bw from color is probably a slightly "inferior" process than using bw film in the first place, but if well done the differences will be minute with ps conversion.
(I shoot digital, and shoot in color and convert simply because with digital that is what is recommended)

I dont know the technique but I love the effect!! Just a whisper of green at the top of the falls seems to really work. The log sets it all!! Great Job! Would like to see more of these and learn more of theis technique.

Cool experiment. Probably would not have even noticed the single sawn log otherwise.
