 Sorry if they're flowers but I have been just busy with concerts and rehearsals that really had nothing else to use. Came out pretty nice, I think.

New layer of hue/sat on colorized and move the hue and sat sliders all they way to the left for black and white. New Layer of levels resetting the black and white points.
