I thought that this lily made a nice macro. I decided to check it out in black and white. Bouquet 2 c Not so fast, Russell! Photoshop Elements 2020 offers six kinds of black and white:

Infrared
Newspaper
Portrait
Scenic Landscape
Urban Landscape

It’s as if these solar panels were made just for this challenge. I’ve been sitting on these pictures since November 14, 2019. Now they find life in Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge. [Note: I just realized that I forgot to put the logo on for Cee’s Hunt for Joy Challenge. Must do so now. rs]
