5 Zone B&W

I watched a tutorial by Mark Wallace on the zone method of processing your B&W images and decided to give his technique a try. This technique was mastered by Ansel Adams and had 11 zones but this method worked basically with 5.  I was inspired to try it on one of my images from the Pow Wow we went to last summer after seeing Dave Black do a Native American print in sepia.  The bright, contrast of colors actually lend themselves well to a B&W image.
