The results are a bit like a Florida election but without the hanging chads :-) In other words, rather inconclusive, albeit with a *slight* preference for the B&W version, but really slight. As Ted said, this is evidently an image that works in both color and B&W, so from that point of view I should be pleased. I am however grateful to Steve for taking the trouble to show me how it would look in B&W, spurring me to get the Miranda plug-in and learning something new.
