Gorgeous, Kay!!! I really like this in B&W, too. #4634449

Wonderful B&W of this flower. I really love the design and contrast. #4634544

Thanks, Ellen, Laura and Lorri for your encouraging comments! The original colour image is flat and uninspiring, so I fooled around in PS with it as a last resort before banishing it from my gallery and website forever. Colour and B&W versions are side by side on my website HERE -- just click the thumbnails if you want to have a look. #4634608

This is gorgeous. How do you invert the color? Great technique.

Thanks for your kind comment, Clayton! In Photoshop CS3, I first converted it to black and white, and then, using an adjustment layer (or you can use Image/Adjustment/Invert) clicked Invert. That's it. The Invert also works on colour images, sometimes giving really cool results.

More info if you need it; you know how to find me ... #7021408
