That's nice Allan. I like the muted tones you have used.

Cheers Pete. I cranked up the contrast and clarity a little and de-saturated it to just show a little green as was bit overpowering in full colour but bit bland in b&w

You could also try layering a monochrome image with the colour one and then use a curves adjustment to push the background tones down. Something like this.

That is quite an attractive flower, I wouldn't have thought garlic looked as good as that. Can you eat wild garlic?

I like both versions, but especially Pete's. Wish I had that understanding of colour. Beautiful shot, Allan.

You most certainly can.

Paul, you eat only the leaves of wild garlic, surprisingly. It is quite a mild taste compared to what we are used to.

What a lovely simple image! I'm struggling with an autumn tree at the moment. Colour is too overpowering, but B&W is confusing with all the leaves. I'm trying to figure out that PS trickery, but it's beyond me at the moment. I'll go and have a play...

Oooh yes! Garlic!!!
There's 3 things in my life I can live without. My residential occupants, My camera, and Garlic (any shape or form..... preferably stronger the better)
The occasional event I do have a chinese I ALWAYS ask for extra garlic sauce, and then I say to them ''when you thing there's more than enough to feed an army cookhouse for a week with just garlic, chuck more on for me please'', but whether it's a language barrier I have to overcome that makes them stand there like I'm making a pathetic attempt at speaking chinese, or whether it's clearly understood and their face of discomfort really is their way of saying ''Are you taking the ****ing ****!?''
Whatever it is, I do get it the way I like it.... however... it is prepared behind closed doors! hhhmmm.... surely they wouldn't..... No... :/
No suprise the sexual activity with the wife is inactive for 3 weeks following the consumption of garlic.
Anyway, on to the shot...... I like it very much!

This might be easier to see. The opacity of the SilverFX layer was about 50%.
This reminds me, I must add the upgrades to this laptop. It should be on LR4 and the latest versions of Nik software! I don't use it for editing very often.

Thank you Pete! I'll see if I can get it to work with my tree. That should keep me quiet for the rest of the evening...
