I had already done a b&w conversion and tussled as to which was better so I have now uploaded both the LUG gallery. You can see the HDR at: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gwpics/03-0342.jpg.html and the b&w is sitting right next to it. Maybe other opinions could be given - which is the prefered option? For me they are both joint first.
