May day was quite rainy so I took little more than my usual 10 images for a time-lapse project I'm working on but I did take several images of our rain soaked irises. I have been using LR mainly as a cataloging tool but this day I decided to try a little PP. After I got the image the way I wanted it I decided it might look good in B&W. I find LR's B&W tools very limited so I passed the image to PS, another first for me. I've been doing B&W conversions in PS since before forever and it is nice to have all the tools I learned to use manually located in an adjustment layer.

If you are interested in b&w, the Nik Collection is now free. Silver Efex Pro (for b&w) is truly awesome. The rest of the collection is great too. Many of us paid $150 or more for this suite, but for me was well worth :)
Works as a plug-in with Lightroom:
