I tried it... once... wasn't very successful. v1 for me, Ann, I like being a claustrophobe!
Dave
Can't decide if I want to feel claustrophobic or not...
A contrasty b&w could be interesting here.
Moira
Yes, V3 works for me, I might even go for more contrast - do you use the black and white eye-droppers in Levels? Worth a try here, particularly on the black. (I very rarely use this procedure for colour, but for b&w it can transform an image!)
Thanks for the pm.

thanks Moira I didnt use the black dropper but will try that now and let ya know
Very nicely captured, Ann - think I go for the crop of V1. Works well in mono, too
Trev
V3 for me Ann stunning quality capture and conversion.
Regards
Trev.
V4 is rather more extreme than I intended - I'd apply the black eye-dropper to the darker bits bottom left or top right - they're not quite true black, I'd just want to intensify them while keeping some sense of texture. It's a lovely image to experiment witth!
