A conversion to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 2 where I used a Faded Photograph recipe and then adjusted some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.

I decided to try out this "Ansel Adams Look" I'd read about in Jason Odell's book on Capture NX2. The idea is to work with the LCH editor, making some adjustments, and then use a Black point and White point before converting to black & white.
A zoomed in image I captured while walking around the Station Road Bridge area as I headed out to enjoy an early afternoon stroll along the Ohio and Erie Canal Path. I worked with control points and color control points in Capture NX2 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted. I then added a Foliage and Sunshine CEP filter to give that little bit extra for the final image.
