    Kurukadi and Mumba are the two iguana spirits, one white, one black.

    Taken at a reptile zoo north of Toronto.

    Aside from the Adamus technique (which is ridiculously easy, and has tremendous results for anything that is intended for web)... The black and white conversion is use is:

    1. Gradient Map Layer
    2. Channel Mixer
    - monochrome
    - constant at -10%
    - reds at 75%
    - adjust blue and green channels as desired to get the high contrast look.

    Try this, try it without the channel mixer, and compare that to grayscale/desaturation + contrast boosts, and pick what looks best.

    This is awesome and captures the green iguana personality. I owned two large iguanas for about 5 years (Roman and Ella). Great detail and awesome B&W conversion. Nice shot!
