Marnie, I like the Bold version best of the BWs. ;-) With the risk of adding to confusion, I think the colour shot can have even more punch if you play a little with a hue/saturation layer. Try tweaking each of the colours separately. To _really_ bring out the blue in the sky, you could

Add another vote for color. Too many pleasing tones there to go BW. If you wanted even more impact, you could mask off the sky and then brighten and add contrast to the foreground. Not a lot, just a touch. Paul -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In
