winter bush

Took this a few days ago but today I tried it in b&w. I think it still looks like winter and having the leaves look white instead of brown and no longer competing with the colors behind it shows off the leaf shapes and vein patterns better.

I agree - B+W does an excellent job at unifying colours and isolating shapes. Well done!

I agree as well, I've always felt that B&W gives a better chance for textures to play a strong roll. Lovely DoF.

@pistache thanks Claire. I thought it looked like a hydrangea but was not confident enough to label it so.

Lovely in black and white, I think it brings out the detail of the petals!

@pistache Clare, sorry I misspelled your name. I have a niece named Claire so I will use that as my excuse.
