I was just reading a little bit about rendering a B&W image from a color original using Lab colorspace (see the link). As an experiment I started messing with the "b" channel rather than the recommended "L" channel, and came up with the image above. Color original to follow.

Looks almost like an IR image, except that the sky is very
dark.
