Good description of the light @Sarah.Brown. Keep looking for it. Someone named Aaron Rose said “In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”
And I love the spirit, @buddingphotographer. You’ll probably remember those LR controls a lot longer now that you have figured them out yourself. And suffice it to say that Lightroom does provide control over the color to B&W conversion . . . I’ll let you figure that one out too. 🙂
