I am experimenting with PS CC art board.
I used the video linked using the image to understand the concept and try it out.
Five elements:
► The initial dartboard (empty and transparent)
► Decaying flower (edited)
► Cat
► Comic (not my creation, edited - added transparency)
► Text (always editable, see comment)
The layer order determine what is visible and what is not.
Since I like to complicate things, I tried to manipulate the image layers. It was just too easy, PS CC ask if you want to rasterize the layer first, say ok, and you are in business. The options are kind of limited but heck, it woks well enough - for me.
The result was saved as a WEBP to show the transparency.

My most critical comment ------
Trust you didn't devote a hell of a lot of time to this project

Actually, it is a good exercise.
I did not find that removing the motion did anything positive so I'll leave it as that.
I will print a small version of this before deciding if I should go bigger. My instinct is go bigger...

If the 'before' was in better focus, then I'd be concerned about my workflow. I never bother with screenshots. Never.
It is still in focus (with the camera motion).
The darkness or somber mood is what creates the illusion of losing focus.
I missed two web strands in the center of the image...
Since I will be at it, I will try to correct the camera motion blur...

THAT is the issue with selling anything online...
Being singled out.
Not one site offers this. One becomes part of an ocean of 'photographers' selling anything from incredible to poor excuse as an 'artist interpretation of a pile of poop'.
Create your own site and use tools offered by the major search sites... And read about what will make your site come up first (w/o paying for the privilege).

That is why there is a download...
Focus issue... It is on focus, BUT there is a bit of camera motion. If you DL the screenshot, you will see hairs and spiderweb strands.

This was shot five years ago. I just got around to it.
The first is the original, a screenshot, the second is after post-processing.
I had to do a ton of clean-up, spider web, some filter issue.

I want to add more 'pop' to my blsack & white photographs. The processing program that I use has the sliders for the various colours but once employed they do not impact the images greatly or should I say sufficiently. Would I be better served by purchasing a set of colour filters?
Thank you in advanc e for your consideration of this topic and any responses that you can offer.

Yes and no.
Yes:
Color filter that were used before do still modify the capture spectrum. Some camera will try to correct the capture... This will not prevent you to work in post-processing.
No:
Software is capable of pulling a rabbit out of a floppy hat. You just need to be aware of the methodology.
If you use PS CC...
► Do not use desaturate, ever.
► Create a selective color layer (adjust second, precise color adjustment, per color, limited effect)
► Create a B&W layer (adjust first, global adjustment)
► Add a tint layer to achieve whatever you like as a monochrome image.
Note: you can also use gradient layers...

I think I found the origin of the problem...
The original used. It looks muddy. After correction, the result is much better - Not perfect -, in my opinion. And, no, LR 'noise filter' is far from coming close to emulated grain.

Again I don't know exactly what look you're going for but I'd say that grain will give you a better starting point and possibly more options for controlling its appearance.
Going for? Adding grain to a B&W image, not noise. The thread title is an issue here.
The question is how to apply it. I solved the size issue, a better sample might be useful. I did not find anything suitable.

I would say missed the water dripping from the fish...
