Not too long ago I was on San Bruno Mountain looking for landscape shots. There, along the roadside, at my feet, were humongous examples of this weed in various shapes and sizes. This was fun to convert to B&W because as I subdued one color after another, the pattern changed.

This is wonderful! Interesting texture on the leaves and nice conversion job. The blue tone makes it look as though it is a snowflake. Just GREAT!

At first, I though cracked glass, or ice. The color turns it into a multi-dimensional snowflake. Beautiful!

wonderful weed ... !!!
and isnt it great after the b&w conversion altering the tones of the different colours so that some dark areas can become light and light ones dark, for example .. i use selective colour adjustment layer for that now ... its great for making the grass look just about like snow or a layer of ice ... did that in my firetrail shot for day 12 .. its always a pleasure looking at your photographs alice .. :)

It looks like a multi-level snowflake. Very beautiful photo. The tones are outstanding.
