B&W Shapes-Calla Lily by psychographer

B&W Shapes-Calla Lily

photo 605
This week's task in the July (yes, I know! I'm only a month late!) thumbnail challenge is B&W shapes. I've decided to use different shaped flowers for my shapes and hopefully the shots will work. I have taken B&W flower shots before but I'm not sure whether I'm keen or not.

Here's the colour version for you to compare the two if you'd like

My 3 positive things today
1. My bedding has been washed and is currently in the tumble drier...there's nothing like clean sheets on the bed :o)
2. It's Bank Holiday Monday so hubby's off work today
3. Hubby has cleaned our bedroom and as he's much taller than me (I'm 5'2" and he's 6'5") he was able to reach all the cobwebs I couldn't

love both shots - colour one wins it for me though

@megsy I agree. This week's challenge is B&W shapes so I feel compelled to not break the rules ;o) but I do prefer the colour one. How's the revision going? I hope your headache's gone now. Try rubbing lavender oil into your temples, it might ease it a bit xx

This is going to be an exciting challenge! I can't wait to see all of your flower shots. I agree with you that there is nothing nicer than fresh sheets on the bed. That is my Saturday treat for the family.

I do like the shape of the lily in b&w but I like flowers for their colour.

I adore the shape of these flowers.
I can't decided between the two shots. They both appeal to me in different ways.

It sounds like a productive day! Great b&w shot and gorgeous shape!

Love them both, but the B+W version highlights the elegant shape of the lily.

This capture is beautiful for its shape and reflections but I do like the colours of flowers!

Heck I can't decide either... this is beautiful shades and shape but the colours are just so darned lovely... just as well you posted both!

Very cool

Wonderful shapes and shadows.

Scratch that last comment. After first glance thought it was the shadow of the calla lily then though how would you get two shadows like that from a single flower. Great shot nonetheless.

Stunning - works great in B&W!

So elegant! The curves are beautiful.

This is just scrumptious. Loving the detail in the lily and the soft shadows.
