For Before and After, I chose to use Photoshop to render this image to black and white, then adjusted the brightness and contrast a wee bit.

I'm sharing these photos at the following sites:

A seeker of crimson and red
Did part her fair lips as she said,
“A daiquiri’s fine,
And so is red wine,
But I prefer claret instead!”

ReplyDeleteYou didn't list Thirsty for Comments Thursday on the list! I think those flowers look better black and white than they do in colour!
