September 27: Photobomb Special

I was photographing the flowers in my garden, when I was photobombed by this special creature. I have been trying to capture pictures of butterflies and they have evaded me most of the time. Today, I am shooting pictures of marigolds and the butterfly comes to me!

Yesterday, I started thinking about how some subjects look better in color than in black and white. Today, I took pictures of flowers at a greenhouse's Autumn festival. When I came home, I found out that none of my pictures looked good in black and white. This was quite a revelation to me. Later on in the day, I took pictures in my own garden to get today's shots. At least, a few of these looked good in both color and black & white.
Wonderful detail!! Great capture!

Both the color and black and white are great, but this is a must fav for me!

Really like the fuzzy texture you captured. It stands out with black and white.

This definitely turned out well in b&w - your photo bombing buddy has helped out nicely. Good textures.

Well done in B&W. What a nice surprise just for you!

Very neat. Butterflies were pretty elusive for me this year also. (Think I like the color version better on this one.

It's very neat to see both the color and the B&W versions.

Great shot of a Skipper! fav
Yes, I agree with you there are some shots the look better in color and then there are some that you can put in black and white. This one probably works in both. The best way to learn what to use when is to practice and experiment as you've been doing.

@linnypinny @linc @olivetreeann Thanks to all of you for your favs. I am learning so much by posting both a color and a BW version this week.
