Primrose Macro b and w

We finally had some rain so I went out to catch the last flowers with droplets.Keeping experimenting with artificial light and black and white for my mentoring group.. Shot with on and off camera flashes.
Thanks much for your support, comments, suggestions, favs

Love your very black background

[Taffy]

I like the composition here and the tone in the back flower. I think the front one lacks definition and wonder if the adjustment brush might bring out some texture there but not affect the rest of the image.

I love the composition and sweet droplets :)

[Pam Knowler]

I love the contrast of the plant against the black. Are you using a black backdrop or are you doing this with your settings somehow?

Beautiful pic!!

[Jane Pittenger]

@pamknowler taken in garden- no backdrop- with flashes and macro lens. There was a spot top right corner that I painted in a bit of black

This really came out so well against that black background - love the raindrops.

[Trinda Love]

Nice in black and white

[Kathryn]

great B&W

[Rachel]

Lovely against the black, and great droplets. I wonder if you could bring out more detail in the front flower with an adjustment brush?

[Jane Pittenger]

@taffy @888rachel I replaced the original based on your suggestions. Please note my message to you on the black and white rose 'cause I'm confused

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger I think the forefront flower has more definition now and the shot overall has a better balance to it. I love the droplets!

[Marnie]

The black background works very well here Jane, though too woul'd like to see more definition in the front flower.
