Hi folks :)

I'm starting to fiddle around with PP in LightZone. It's pretty darn nice for such a small application. This is my first attempt on a digital b/w.

How does it look? I've been messing around with it so long that I can't even tell any longer if it looks ok.

Thx!

I quite like the tones but I find the digital noise a little excessive. What ISO was that pic taken at? :)

ISO 800. The noise was actually much less prior to PP...you think I should bring the grainy look down a bit?

Definitely ... there's something about noise that makes it far less attractive than grain! It always seems a little random to me. :)
 
First impressions-
-I'm not a fan of the toning, I would stick with a slightly higher contrast B/W.
-The noise does feel excessive to me.
