What I Know On Day Four

I have decision making issues when editing black and white! It seems so much easier for me in color. It will be interesting to see if it gets better as the month continues. Thanks for dropping by!
Lovely b/w shot, composition

Instant FAV! So unexpected to see this light, airy plant done in dramatic black and white. I love your dof and composition. Very artistic!

I know exactly what you mean Lin. Who would think there would be so many different ways to edit a B&W photo. This is a really nice edit.

Great contrasts. There are so many tones of black and white.
February 4th, 2016  
This looks great in black and white! I love it!

great choice for b&w, nice edit.
I shoot probably 96% of my images in b/w. Lightroom brings in the raw image with color, then I must go and convert it back. I use Silver EFX Pro for my b/w edits, and there are multiple choices for preset options, but you get a preview, which helps immensely.

A beautiful subject choice for black-and-white! I almost shot some the other day and they are on my back up list! You can expect to see some sometime this month for me as well! Oh, and what @bill_fe said is way over my head! I have no idea what he's talking about!
February 4th, 2016  
I totally agree - so many decisions to make! You've made some wonderful decisions here. :)

Just curious--why is this called flash of red? Last year, people really did include a flash of red, but not this year?

B&W sounds so complicated! Nice range of tones and I like the slightly grainy finish.
February 4th, 2016  
Pretty!
February 4th, 2016  
Pretty silhouetted capture.
February 4th, 2016  
Keep going!

This is wonderful! I love the grainy textures. Fav. I am so impressed with you and all the other 365ers doing the month of black and white. Keep going, you are doing great.
February 4th, 2016  
Think you made the right decision here! It's a great B&W photo!
February 4th, 2016  
I also think B&W is complicated and has some tricks. Great decision to keep doing it this month, looking forward to the results :)

It looks very nice.

@cejaanderson The flash of red is for Valentine's Day only. I think last year some did it throughout the month, which is OK, too! I hope I can remember to add mine on the 14th!

Good enough for the PP! Congratulations!
February 5th, 2016  
Very pretty b&w!
February 5th, 2016  
Stunning picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

I like the composition, and may have made the white background a little more stark. I know the flash of red challenge has been one of the best to help me with processing and composition. I hope you continue to enjoy it!

A good choice for a black and white.
February 5th, 2016  
Wonderful dof! Love the lighting.!
February 6th, 2016  
I do like your comp and dof here.
February 6th, 2016  
Right decisions made here, though. Love the comp and the processing. I agree though - everything's a little (and often a lot) different shooting b&w. We'll be experts come March :)
