I held it up in front of a red wall, then in Photoshop Elements selected the red color area, leaving the dandelion unselected, went to the Adjust Lighting button, dropped it to almost zero (black). Still had a little red tinge in the outer fringes, so selected the whole photo, went to Adjust Color, went to red, and dropped only that color to zero saturation. Pretty simple if you know how and have the software.
Oh sure....easy for you to say! But thank you! My son is good at using photoshop and shows me how every now and again. Takes a lot of time and patience.
Ok....will be posting mine soon. I have photos of dandelions, you know. hmmm....do I dare post mine too? Could be kind of cool, just like the teal ducks.
I am a retired nuclear engineer. I've been looking through one kind of viewfinder or another since I was about 12 years old. I've finally decided, in my retirement, to learn how to take a photograph.

Very nice photos for this week's challenge! The fireworks are so sharp. And I love the black background for the dandelion seeds...how'd ya do that?
