This is the second week of this month’s One Four Challenge. Recall that in the One Four Challenge, we select a photo each month and then produce four variations on successive months. You can get more information here. And be sure to check out Leanne’s posts and Robyn’s posts.

The featured image above is Variation 2 of the Acoma pueblo. The conversion to monochrome was made via a cinematic preset. I then modified multiple tonalities, changing how different colors were mapped to the black-and-white. I added a few other adjustments to modify textures. I used Luminar Neo for all edits; I don’t think there was any AI involved. Overall, the I think the result has a distinctive cinematic appearance.

Here is the side-by-side comparison of Variation 1 and Variation 2.

And here is the gallery with both variations and the original.
