Kathy, I found a more flexible way of making the color monochrome in Photoshop Elements. I started with a B&W photo. Then, I added a photo filter adjustment layer. In that layer, I can pick a color to cast on the B&W. It worked quite well. There is a slider to choose the color, and you can see the result as you slide it up and down. @randystreat
There is another trick in PSE that I think I'm going to try with this photo. I think the composition works a bit better if the castle is placed a little more to the right. I could crop it that way, but that removes the framing of the foreground branches on the right. I tried that, and I didn't like the result.
Now, I remember that there is a re-compose feature where you can move some things around while leaving other elements unchanged. Maybe I can keep the branches on the right while shifting everything else to the right.
It makes you wonder. Are photographs even allowed as evidence in court these days?
@tdaug80 Interesting color choice. But very much appropriate for the challenge. In response to the second contemplation, when I first started attending a photography club and then joined this site, I realized that one cannot trust any photograph. SOOC is a rarity for a lot of us these days. If I don't do anything else, I usually have to crop or straighten. Don't know what the answer is to the question about photographs as evidence (and quite frankly, hope I never have to find out.)
