Round Rose

B&W is a real challenge for me. I'm trying to find my way - but I miss the color of this rainy, round rose. So then I think I play around with it too much.

Very pretty shot,love the water droplets!!

[Danny G.]

Very nicely processed, an excellent b&w image!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I think this works really well as a B&W shot. Love those droplets. So round is your shape of the week then! xx

[Allison Williams]

With the color absent, the viewer is forced to concentrate on other things, like the droplets and the perfect shape. Good choice.

@carolmw So do I Carol. We have been needing the rain.
@soboy5 Thanks Danny. I struggle with them.
@psychographer Round for now. I think I can throw something else in as long as it is a b&w shape. Can't find a triangle.....
@allie912 Thanks Allison. You just gave me something to think about.

It looks lovely - I imagine it pinky peach? Love the squiggles in the middle

[👑 AnaZad]

Very pretty rose, enhanced by the water droplets.

[Cathy]

What awesome detail! Love all the petals, the center and all those lovely water drops!

[Kathryn]

Black and white is tricky. The details are wonderful, yet I, too, miss the color. Can you up the contrast more? or does that ruin it?

[Gerry]

Awsome photo Cathy this has to be a fav lovely bw flower : - )

[Caren]

It looks great in b&w...it makes the raindrops stand out. Good job!

[Lyn]

Grand raindrops - I understand what you mean about b&w - it's not often I'm willng to convert! Love the beautiful shape here and just wishing I knew what real color it was!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

I really like this, the b/w draws your attention to the shape of the rose and emphasises the water droplets. I think it works really well.

[Jennifer]

Ditto Patricia's comment. The b&w makes you focus on the shape and drops, nice pic.

[Yvonne]

This is beautiful--love those raindrops. And I think it is wonderful in b&w.

[Dawn Wilson]

Beautiful .. Looks great in black and white

[Sharon Lee]

Beautiful B&W

[Mags]

Excellent black and white, Cathy! Nice balance of highlights and shadows! Well done!

[Janet Shaffer]

Lovely B&W shot.

[aurorajane]

beautiful tones.

[Linda Torrence]

This rose is so beautiful in B & W for your thumbnail-challenge. The droplets of water show up well, along with the center stems.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful tones.
