I like it. If you are going to try another, look for an image with interesting contrast and texture that would make a good B&W image and work the coloring from there. Here are a couple that I did in response to a similar get-pushed challenge several months ago. https://365project.org/tdaug80/365/2020-01-27 https://365project.org/tdaug80/365/2020-01-28

@tdaug80 Thank you. I do intend to have another try. I very rarely do any editing and I do not have Photoshop or anything similar. Most of my shots are sooc so this is a big challenge to me. Your examples are great to see, I did try some searches but they all came up as B & W!

It sure works for me!

@365anne Could you do something with PicMonkey? That's part of your Ace subscription.
[Update] I found it. Choose the magic wand icon on the left. Drag the elevator all the way to the bottom until you find a rectangle that says "Curves." In curves, choose a color channel (don't use RGB. Choose one of R, G, or B). Then, pull the point on the right of the curve all the way down. That will make a B&W image a monochrome image in color. Fiddle around with it a bit and see what you come up with.
