About the Image(s)

Shot with an iPhone 14 Pro Max, at ISO 32, 9mm, f/2.8, 1/1900 sec. Phone picked the settings, I was surprised by the 1/1900. The color version was processed in Lightroom Classic and the monochrome conversion was made years later in Lightroom B+W mode. The primary sliders were Orange -48 added textures to roofs, Yellow +43 to lighten stonework, Green +100 lighten stonework, Aqua +96 Lighten statue, Blue +56 contrast sky with everything. Following that go back to Basic sliders for fine tuning. You can see a lot of B&W slider work to get good contrast with all picture elements. I finished in the detail panel increasing Luminance watching the zoomed in sky to ensure low noise and then Sharpening the image while using the masking slider to take the sharpening off anything that was not a major tonal change. You can see what is being sharpened if you hold the Alt key (Windows) while using the masking slider.
