Turbulent Tulips

More from the tulips that keep on giving. Admittedly taken yesterday, but as macro is the theme for the 52week challenge I thought I would stay with these petals for today. With all the rainbow colour going on, I thought I'd see what these would look like in black and white and rather liked the result.

They work beautifully in b&w - I find it so restful after all this riot of colour.

[haskar]

Great shot and processing.

I immediately thought of similar work by a famous photographer that my aging brain can't remember. Arrgh. The similarity is in the feeling of depth achieved by the different tones of the outside and inside of leaves.

[Janet B.]

Super in black-and-white, which shows all those lovely tones and textures!

[David]

Wonderful tones and texture. Colour can be so intoxicating and distracting... I don't trust it! I think that b&w has the potential to be more honest, revealing what's really there. Fav
