My manipulated images which is part of my snow fall event

I duplicated the image then selected the background and adjusted it to black and white then i selected auto and pressed ok.I pressed unhide and elected the color image and go to select then color range. I then selected the eyedropper and select a color area and changed the fuzziness so that all the colors of the red petal were shown. I then selected the magic and tol and refine edges and changed radius to 0.5,smooth 2, feather 2 and contrast/expand 0. I then copy and pasted the selected area then delete the color layer and then i hid the background layer and erase amy unwanted bits with the eraser tool.
This is part of my black and white concept
