[Leica] IMG: Another Monochrome Lighthouse

[Peter Klein]

OK, I'll play.  Here's what I did, in Picture Window Pro. I made this 
mask (quick and dirty, left a line at the horizon and around the central 
tree, but you get the idea).

Then I applied these curves to the lower and upper parts of the mask 
(left = rocks, sea and land, right= sky)

Result:

The lighting seemed to me to be fairly soft and gentle, and I didn't 
want to fight that, so my image may be flatter than some prefer. I tend 
not to push things as far as some. Phillipe's version is Ansel Adams 
Wagnerian--perfectly valid, but I usually don't usually go that far.
