Description
These two water lilies caught my eye while wandering through the gardens of the Palácio de Cristal in Porto. The day was overcast, leaving the leaves and water a sort of dull grey/green/brown colour.

To "save" the photo I experimented by adding a hue/saturation/lightness adjustment layer (PSP7) and simply pulled the saturation down by about 20%. The result? The water and leaves turned a pleasing greyscale, while leaving the colour of the flowers mostly untouched!

I like it, what about you...
