Changing an Image to Black and White

Change an image is rather easy, but can be achieved by 2 different techniques, One technique is using an adjustment layer, or just going up to image > Adjustment > Black and White.

With a black and white image, it adds more drama to the image and give it more meaning.

A little hint with black and white, is just normal black and white looks alright, but I've been taught to add a slight tint of blue to certain images and it gives the image a whole different feel.

For example this is the standard image.

This image was the original one I started with, The one below it is of course the black and white image that I created from the original.

There is many tutorials that would go into greater detail than me for this kind of technique, this technique would make a image stand out, with black and white images you do not need to worry about the kind of light when either find or taking the image.
