What does the color version look like? The BW conversion seems to have left the image a little flat.

I'll post it later to this site, but you are right that the B&W came out flat. Honestly, the color one seems flat as well

Yes, I think that you are right - you need a shaft of sunlight or something coming through to add some contrast to the photo. Maybe if you lit the pods using fill flash?

Fill flash wasn't an option due to the distance from the subject (this was taken out a two story window), but I never seem to remember how fill can increase depth. Thanks for the reminder and I'll try to remember the next time I'm dealing with this type of contrast. Maybe I should put a sticker on my camera that says, GOT FLASH? so I can remember.

Thanks for the suggestions
