Practice in black and white (and some color)

Today was a clouded day later in the afternoon, although not too dark. But as there was no nice spring sunshine to take photographs of, I decided to practice in black and white.

Here are two such images, using a tailored setting in LightZone for doing the conversion. It is based on the high-key portrait setting with image-specific changes to how the middle tones are rendered. But I couldn't help posting a third image, a colorful one, to maintain some kind of balance.
