A Rose of Sharon in Black and White

Fiddling around with a floral shot taken outside the climbing gym. It didn't have the greatest background so I converted it but it's still an unimpressive shot! I should have done something a little more interesting with it, but we're in our 4th 90 degree F day and the heat and humidity are truly getting to me so this will have to do.

Beautiful, even in B+W

FAV this is really Beautiful in its simplicity. Sometimes less is more and I think you achieved it with this one

[Diane]

I like it! The stark contrast draws your eye into the center of the flower. The heat this summer has been scary.

[amyK]

The petal details show up nicely in b&w

[Diana]

Wonderful contrasts.

[haskar]

Great textures and light.

[Harry J Benson]

Nice textures; make sure you stay hydrated when you go outside in this weather

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very pretty.

[Kathy]

The B&W really shows off the texture of the petals of this flower.

[Carole Sandford]
