Excellent shot Rich, and there is wonderful beauty in B&W! But, if you have Photoshop you might try a levels adjustment layer instead of curves. Move the Red Midtones to the left a bit, the Green to the right to get a magenta image and then adjust the Blue far to the right and see what you like.

Thanks Warren, I usually use curves too. I’ll try levels in GIMP and see how it does.

That's a really lovely image :bow :hamster: we all have a different way of doing it, I use the >adjust >colour balance tool in Photoshop.
