Black and White photo: I used b&w to make the photo more simple and dramatic.

There are all kinds of different layers to this photo when it comes to the black and white aspects of it. 

Posterize:

This can really give your picture a different, cool, and contrasting image. It just depends on the black and white contrasts of the original image.

These adjust the color and contrast and how the photo looks. It is useful because it creates a good focus and creates simplicity.
