End of season

Get-Pushed Challenge 477
My partner challenged me to a high key nature shot. I first shot this in color and for kicks decided to see what it looked like in black & white. It has more energy in b&w. Most challenging has been the weather. Dull, darker days this week as we got a bit of rain and a lot of clouds this week.

@annied Thank you for this challenge. I enjoyed planning and thinking about it.

[Taffy]

High key is very effective here with your theme.

[Kathy A]

I like this, it has a sort of antique look about it

[Susan Wakely]

I like the soft effect. Showing of the fading sunflower.

[Wylie]

lovely light gradient

@taffy Thank you Taffy.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I guess in sunflower time they are antiques.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie.
@jamibann Thank you Issi. There are some more seeds that a few birds are going after but mostly this is it.
@wakelys Thank you Susan.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@craftymeg Thank you very much Margaret.

Good job on the high-key challenge from your get-pushed partner. It's interesting how switching to monochrome can affect and even improve a picture sometimes.

I like the high key!

[Kathy]

@olivetreeann Yes, the monochrome made a big difference in the appeal of the photo to me. Thank you Ann.
@thewatersphotos Thanks so much Gary.

[Kathy Burzynski]

Sad but true. I'm a summer person so I don't like seeing the season over. This turned out really nice, I think black & white was a good choice.

[Kathy]

@myhrhelper Thank you Kathy.

[Annie D]

well done Kathy - it looks good in b&w

[Kathy]

@annied Thank you Annie.
