Silver Efex Pro magic!

My D3X was in the shop. It's a long story, but all is well, and I missed the large file size and, with good technique, the incredible sharpness attainable. Detail is best expressed in black and white photography. Color is great, and I'm primarily motivated and excited by color, but for the subject, the detail was such with the 24.5 mp file that a black and white conversion was chosen. Using nik's Silver Efex Pro and the fine tuning controls in the far right panel to control contrast, structure, and more, the difference in the color and black and white interpretation is impressive and profound transforming the image from a nice color shot to a fine art image. To me, nik's Silver Efex Pro is the best B&W conversion software in the business.
