 Well I took a photo of a bright red poinsettia flower above, but I felt it was just to bright and to red.
I decided to convert it re "Gradient Map" and then to black and white.
I then played with it in photoshop, re processing by burning and dodgeing, to get the effect I was after.....

ps; Replaced origional version with this one, where I cloned two tiny white spots out.

Origional Colored version.

This is wonderful. I love the petals--much better in b&w than the bright red.

In general this is very nicely done, but the whites are totally blown, and this could be avoided with careful work. The yellows in the original have detail and texture. Otherwise it's a fine BW conversion.

The shades of black and white add so much texture to the petals. Really nice!
