I accept that, but I don’t know if I’m really able to do so. I don’t seem to have any choice, as the D780 (and M10) are both going to give me color files regardless of what I want. But when I went out to buy dinner, I was very specifically looking for scenes that I hoped would look good in B&W. I only found one, and shot it from several angles, but only one of them looked good to me - but I learned that lesson long ago, and captured more than what I wanted, so I would be free to crop it later. Since my camera/lens doesn’t have perspective control, I left enough room so I could do that in PL as well.
I eventually did get what I wanted, and the various shapes only came together the way I originally wanted in one photo.
Trying to think in B&W, I boosted the contrast more than I planned, to make it more obvious. I suspect that @Wolfgang will boost the contrast to double what I did, but for better or worse, this image is what I set out to do.

Very close - change “take” to “edit” and you’ll be spot-on! As in, what things to consider doing first, which will make the subsequent changes more appropriate. 
Yeah, impossible, and unobtainable.
