Many thanks, that was edited in camera, no external editing. Like you Casey, I converted the image to the GR's standard B&W setting then applied extra contrast. You can only get these tones with the GR and I really don't don't know what I'm going to do if, as I fear, this is the last of the GR's that Ricoh is going to make. There's hardly any preparation for that kind of shot, it's instant, taken without much thought. I just can't reach that level of image in so short a time with any other camera. I know what you mean about the High Contrast setting but even then there are times when you shake your head at what that preset can achieve.
