Hi Bruce ... it's a rather poor conversion. Tonality of the rocks is harsh, infrared like, sky is filled with artifacts, tonality is not very smooth, and there is a very annoying something, maybe sharpening artifacts, along the left side of the base of rocks upon which the top rock is balanced. Maybe you wanted the contrast afforded by the "red filter," however, imo, the execution of it doesn't work well here.
