Artist's Comments
The
 is having a Black and White competition, and I thought about what I could enter for it, when my Dozing off pic jumped to mind. The lilipads have those sort of stripes on them that would look fine in black and white, I thought. My camera doesn't take black and white pictures and I have none of these water lilies on hand to to take a b&w shot of anyhow, even if it could... So, I eagerly opened PS and tried different setting with the b&w option, until I was happy with the contrasts; I reduced the reds, increased the yellows and greens and whatnot to try and make the contrast better for b&w and... here you have the result (any more adjustments seemed to make the whites too bright, so I left it at that).  I think it shows the markings nicely, don't you? If you have any thoughts or suggestions on how it can be made better, do let me know.  Comments
 Very beautiful image.
Great perspective. God use of b&w.Great light and contrast. -- Living is easy with eyes closed  I was immediately impressed by this.
Very nice subject beautifully presented. The b&w seems to add strength to it. Thank you. I'm glad I tried b&w on this one. I usually don't think in b&w when it comes to photos, lol, so it's kind of test and see for me. Glad you liked it.

 I don't usually think about doing b&w, it doesn't even come to mind, but I'm glad I did for this one. -- Every step, whether long or short, direct or winding, adds to one's journey.

Thanks. I wasn't too sure what to expect from it when I started working on the b&w, but I'm glad I did it.

-- HELP: I am looking for the deviation of Lord Voldemort saying something along the lines of "Expelliarmus? What the HELL, Rowling?!" to show someone but CAN'T FIND IT- if you know where it is, please note me or leave a link on my page!!! Thanks. I don't do a lot of stuff in black and white because I usually don't have any pics that convert well. With this one, it was easy because the patterns and contrasted areas worked well in b&w. I was lucky... it only took a little bit of sliding the markers left and right to increase or decrease the colour tones after it converted.
