An interesting effect can be achieved by converting a b&w photo to a photo negative. It's fairly easy in PS or PSE - just click on Ctrl-I when you're looking at your b&w image.

Thanks Doc. I found this worked really well with flowers that had dense foliage in the background. To me, it almost gives an image a Japanese dry-brush look. I look forward to seeing some of your good ones.This is neat Bob! I can't wait to try it!

This is a terrific presentation because we see so many variations and possibilities. #3 appeals to me for its delicate nature and #4 for the simplicity of the background and the cool shape of the plant.

WOW! Bob, these are really cool! What I like most is how different they are from other flower photos! Nicely done!

Thank you Linda. As with many other styles, this one doesn't always work well. But when it does, it's impressive ..... I suspect that's because it causes folks to take a good, hard look at the image to interpret what they're seeing.This is a terrific presentation because we see so many variations and possibilities. #3 appeals to me for its delicate nature and #4 for the simplicity of the background and the cool shape of the plant.

Another example of the craft, but with a touch of sepia tone added to the final image

Love the effect! I will have to try it. I'm really drawn to #4, it looks like water and ink drawing. Very nice.

Very very nice Bob, reminds me of a forgotten skill from the b&w film days. This has got to be fun in PP in the digital world.
