a still life

i was conflicted when posting this shot -- did i want it in colour or black and white? in the end, i chose black and white as methinks it is more compelling. i have ran out of ideas totally. i was out since noon, and haven't done anything productive except going to the bank to inquire about my accounts, then to the doctor's for my second vaccine shot, then to the art store to look for a grounding liquid. i even forgot to bring my camera.

the doctor said i will have fever tomorrow because of the shot. he's wrong, i have it now.

Beautiful B&W, nice light and contrast. I think B&W is right choice.

I reacted really fast to my second shot too, but it didn't last as long as the reaction to the first one, so I decided that was okay. Hope you feel better very soon!
Something so lovely about that white rose.......

Gorgeous display. When i have dilemmas about b&w vs colour, i usually post both... i would really love to see the coloured version.

I find this a bit dark, are there flowers in that vase? I hope your side effects are short lived

[Esther Rosenberg]

ai, I hope you feel better soon. Mysterious kinda shot.

[Lou Ann]

A mysterious image, for some reason it made me think of Sherlock Holmes. Ha.

I'm a fan of B&W and I like this

I hope you are feeling better soon Vikki. I like the light on the books, but vase at the back is disappearing into the background.

I really like it and can imagine this as a scene introducing a murder mystery.

Magnificent set up for this photo! Your choice of black-and-white was the right one!

Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well after your shot.

Wonderful presentation...looks great on black

The choice of b&w seems to be a good one, although I have nothing to compare it to. I think the contrasts probably show up better this way. Feel better.

Love the real black and white.
