I expect you can guess the difference between grayscale and black and white based on the names - essentially black and white contains only those two, while grayscale has assorted gray shades as well. Black and white can look casually grayscale at high definition where the blacks and whites are mixed (a 100x100 square with 50% black and 50% white equally distributed throughout is going to look gray on first glance at a distance).
I can't say if your image is grayscale because I have not properly looked at it - it just feels that way on first glance. I'm also not familiar with digikam so I don't know what it defaults to when converting color to monochrome.
Which method of converting to black and white did you use? It feels to me like that one is more grayscale. You might also just tweak the black point and sharpness to see if that helps? Here is one I took of Wrights Hill fortress awhile back, I basically did that to it.
Last day in old team at work, from Monday I'm on a secondment. Looking forward to getting into it but also hoping the new govt doesn't asplode the project I'm gonna be part of. On the other hand, I have a substantive to fall back on and recruiters pinging me on the regular on Linkdn so that's something.
Doing stuff I'm almost sure is a waste of time and money. My grandfather who passed away in 19****89, had multiple bank accounts including multiple ones for hs grandchildren. Turns out when his estate got settled the executor missed some. Literally decades later, I discover the one in my name in an unclaimed funds list.
The proof required for the claim is proof of shared address with the account on record. Aka my Grandpop's PO box. Which obviously I don't have what with having been a child who didn't get mail and who lived at a different address. Also the executor of the estate passed away in 2012. And, I live in NZ but this is State of NY bureaucracy.
So I'm like 99% sure I'm throwing away a notary fee and postage on a chance at a completely unknown amount of money (but probably not all that much).
If anyone has any windmills, I'd be happy to charge them with a lance.

I do like the composition, btw.
