Rather than just changing this to a black and white picture, I first added contrast and saturation, then created the montotone image by changing levels and curves. Gave me more control over the clouds and sky for a bit more depth.

Sky achieved with the help of a ND gradient filter. Silhouette photo of a Welsh mountain.

Bleach bypass used to burn out some highlights and give a lot more contrast to the pic. Slight 's' curve and sharpened rather excessively to give a grainy effect.

Entered this photo into a local competition and was very pleased with a third prize for it.

Taken at The Butterfly House near Aston, South Yorkshire. Making use of a x2 close up filter. Wasn't easy, as the butterflies tended to not want to stay still ofr very long.
