Rapids of the Merced River (Black & White, Yosemite National Park)

            After capturing a long exposed image of the Merced River, I decided to convert a few to black & white with Silver Efex Pro 2. In working with some color filter, I was able to bring out a whiter and milkier color  to the waters and then contrast that with darker colors to the tree and vegetation on the river banks.
