Pastel flowers

Day 2 of the Black & White workshop, and a day of Lightroom, Photoshop and Silver Efex Pro. We did however, pop into Keswick at lunchtime for a couple of hours so we could get Blips (I have StevenG and DavidC on this workshop).

I know this week is about creating black & white pictures, but I tried this as Black & White and it just didn't work. How it worked best though was with a mono layer of reduced opacity to render the colours in soft pastel hues.
