The bottlebrush buckeye in color

Ian JB @ ianjb21 asked me for a capture of The bottlebrush buckeye in color. I prefer the b&w version. I think the shape is too strong and the color makes confusing.

I like the B&W better too... the top of the bottlebrush looks blue/cyan but other parts look tan... I guess it it just the way the scene is lit... not sure... this version is still very nice though.

I prefer this one, the colouring is after all quite subtle and the light through the leaf is more pronounced

[Helen Jane]

I haven't seen your b&w yet, but this looks good to my eye. The colours are all similar tones . the light is great.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh I like this one too! soft colours work

[Heather (pixelchix)]

I’m with you on this one, the B&W version speaks to me much more.

[Esther Rosenberg]

This is beautiful too. I found the B&W stunning .

I've never seen this colour bottlebrush, fascinating.

[Linda Godwin]

Stunning I prefer this one

[Jane Pittenger]

I agree

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I actually like the color version better- even though I love black and white. I like subtlety of the softer colors and maybe what I would have done would be to desaturate the green leaf on the left just a bit to blend in with the back ground more. Lovely shot both ways!

[Santina]

very beautiful shot, I saw the shot in B&W I have to say that they are both beautiful, each one has something of interest, here I see the soft color, in b&W I can see more details

[ZambianLass]

So pretty

[Walks @ 7]

I very much like both, the broken Is a stronger feature in the b&w. I think that this softer broken fits the lace quality better. Fav
