Black & White....

This is my first post in this gallery, I'm still working on this skill but in photoshop I put it black and white and brough up the lavendar color a bit, and the green while toning down the brown and black and yellow all the way and bringing the red up a little bit, then in the layers tab I went to what usually says normal and clicked on darker color. I hope that explains what I did. Tell me what you think of it? :smile:

Fun stuff to try, but but I don't think the b/w serves any useful purpose.

Andrea, I like how you have kept the green in the BW. The flowers pop better that way. What a nice spring image for a fall day.

Steve, it was spring are pretty close after, this was actually in Harmone National Park in Southern Indiana, I saw this flower on the side of the road in a ditch and just had to stop and take a shot of it. Thanks for your comment.
