How could I do this to a flower which was originally a beautiful purple?!

[Karen B.]

Never fear the real thing is probably still a beautiful purple ! & this is a great shot in B&W.

[Graham Thresher]

Really love this B & W capture. A big Fav.

[Sam]

Mmmm, do we get to see it in purple???? :)

@gigiflower

Sam you are so persuasive - here's one i posted earlier (as they say!) http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2013-04-25

[Faye Turner]

It has such interesting petals! It still looks good in b&w!

[Sam]

@quietpurplehaze Now that is what I call BEAUTIFUL! Yep much prettier than B&W hehehehe

[Robyn]

Great patterns in the b/w

@gigiflower

Sam, only 2 more days to go to complete my month of mono in my second album - and I'm starting to long for posting a bit more colour! But I have learnt a lot.

[Sam]

@quietpurplehaze You have been very good Hazel......but I certainly look forward to your colour again :)

[wendy frost]

It was made for black and white a great checker board capture. I also like to see purple ones.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Beautiful

[Kane Arlow]

Great shot, I think it is better in colour, I admire your commitment to the B&W challenge. This would be killing @gigiflower Sam not being in colour :-)

[Gena Pegg]

I'm not sure how you could do that Hazel...knowing how much you (we) love purple...but is works really well. The checkered look is good i b&w!

[Richard Hickey]

Wonderful patterns and textures.

[Joaozito Polo]

it's real? very impressive pattern!

[Hazel]

@joaozitopolo

Yes, Joaozito, it's real! See one in colour growing in our garden last year http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2013-04-25

[Penelope Ann]

hard to believe this is for real

[Pyrrhula]

A few years ago this was the only way to take?afford the pic. A reminder ?

[Margaret Brown]

How could you indeed! But still very pretty

[Ivan]

Like this, and its name!

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Indeed so!

[Christine]

Great in B&w

[Babs]

Beautiful detail. the b&w really brings out the pattern. You can post this in colour too if you feel bad about draining this flower of its colour.
