mono hearts

I had a lousy day today. Took some pics but didn't like them. Then I hoped for a nice sky in the evening- dodn't happened, so I decided to turn those hearts to b&w- since I haven't done that for a while!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Makes a lovely b&w

[Hayley Maxwell]

This is a lovely capture. I kind of think they look a bit like tiny baby birds hanging upside down!

[sarah]

The b&w really enhances their shape, good idea!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very nice!! Black and white was a very good call.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Absolutely beautiful detail and bokeh.

[ChristineL]

Sorry you've had a bad day, but I think it's a great way to end it with this wonderful b&w!

[maree_sanderson]

lousy day but nice result...remember it's a pic a day, not a masterpiece a day...hope tomorrow's better... :o)

[Kahsia]

My first impression was they look like Peking Duck in a Chinese grocer. Funny, eh? Good photo.

[Jo]

Nice capture - hope tomorrow is a better day for you

[Cathie]

Beautiful, Martina. I posted an image of Bleeding Hearts, too. Their shape is so charming.

@ziggy77 @hayleymaxwell @zinnia @olivetreeann @pickerandagrinner @inthecloud5 @maree_sanderson @moonmtn @jo38 @cathieg, Thank you for comments. Those are lovely, unusual flowers. They are named after hearts but I cant help it- sometimes they remind me of some strange upside down bird position. But I feel better when I think of them as hearts ...

Lovely capture and great in B/W. Thank you for the follow Martina I am now following you and look forward to seeing your shots.

[Martina]

@wendyfrost, And as I said in the other one, Thank you as well...:)

[Jason]

I've got to agree with @moonmtn, they definitely remind me of ducks hanging in a Chinese grocer as well. Nice processing!

[Martina]

@saulgoode, I think I agree even dough I have never been in such store. They certainly remind me of some birds hanging upside down, or that chiken toy for pets (dogs)... Ha ha LOL. Anyway- I am forcing myself to see a heart first (after all they are named after hearts)

[Jeff in VT, USA]

A very nice presentation and even though the vibrant colors generally add to these images, knowing your mood, b&w suits the photo and it is beautiful regardless!

[Stephanie Swift]

They have such a lovely shape. B&w works well.

[Nicole]

very pretty!

[Martina]

@tristansmum @nicoleterheide, Thank you...

[Martina]

@jeffinvt, Thanks Jeff...that is totally awesome comment!

[Kathy]

The B&W really accentuates the shape of these flowers.
