Daffodils - in Black/White

With very negative thoughts I have had a go at editing my lovely bright cheerful daffodils to a black and white image . The only merit I can see to this is as a learning stage for an artist to distinguish between light and shade and emphasise the shapes and detail without being hampered and confused with colour .
For me Flower photography in B/W misses the vial element of colour Pleas view on black it has so much more dramatic impact
I shall post the original full coloured version as a comparison ! I know which one I like !!!

the b&w emphasises the detail on the petals, but flowers for me should be in colour.

[Bep]

I prefer the coloured version, Beryl.

[Taffy]

So interesting to see the difference from color, and the way form becomes the focal point in b&w.

I always love to see flowers in colour but detail is more pronounced in B/W.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful B&W shot.

[Hazel]

I'm a fan of colour, love flowers but I also really like this b&w conversion.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice textures brought out in this capture

[Beryl Lloyd]

@quietpurplehaze Snap Hazel we both must have been commenting on each other's post at the same time -- great minds and all that ! :)

[Phil Sandford]

Beryl, I think you are right (your comment on my photo earlier this week) - flowers should be in colour. The one you've posted in colour is so bright, vibrant and cheerful, that jsut doesn't come across in B&W

[John]

Intereting perspective in black and white!

[carol white]

Nicely processed, and detailed textures

[Lynne Hart]

Mono really shows up the detail well. Nice processing.

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful B+W capture and framing.

[Daisy Miller]

Dramatic image in BW. I am learning a lot by doing the BW challenge this month.

[Dawn]

Nice detail but I do prefer the coloured image

[Debra]

I'm a fan of color for flowers too, but really like how you processed this image

[KWind]

Pretty flowers. Looks nice in b&w.

[Sam]

I don't mind it in B&W Beryl!
