Thanks for comments, Rick. I had increased the contrast, but backed off. The shadows on the house resisted the lightening and allowed some clipping of the pure whites. As far as the blacks are concerned, I feel it needs at least as much detail as exists. The bricks and front area require some definition. I will give the church siding a cautious nudge, but it may have to remain as shown. Jack

I think the contrast could be higher--in particular, the church could be brighter--unless you intend the shot to have a forboding sort of mood.

About 40 miles into our idle sightseeing we discovered the very small town of Grimes, CA. Attaching a B&W of the Grimes Community Church gracing the center block of "down town." Comments welcome!
