Happy belated birthday, Catherine! by marlboromaam

Happy belated birthday, Catherine!

I missed Catherine's birthday when I posted Lora's. Hers is also on 3/1. So this one's for Catherine @wannabe. Happy belated birthday, gal!

Wanted to try an hdr black and white of the color version. Not bad, I thought. BTW, if you're not following Lora and Catherine, they're some pretty nice gals with some really great pics! I'm sure they'd appreciate the follows. =) @wannabe @loragill More March b'days coming a little later on.
I love this photo...The black and white is so vintage ..Great job!!

Beautiful in b&w . . you did a beautiful job processing this, Maggie. Give yourself a pat on the back! :)
March 3rd, 2012  
When you see the color you see vibrancy. When you see b&w you see form. and its just as remarkable. I really like this!
March 4th, 2012  
Wow, love the B&W. You are too sweet! Happy Birthday Catherine @wannabe

Beautiful.
March 4th, 2012  
I really like this in black and white. It tells a different kind of story than the one in color. I don't like one better than the other because they both say something beautiful.
March 4th, 2012  
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm so glad you enjoy my photos and always look forward to your comments. I'm glad you have become one of my 365 friends!
March 4th, 2012  
Happy birthday to the 2 of you! Your flowers look so soft and velvety!

These flowers came out beautiful in B&W. What a nice way to say Happy Birthday to your friend, Maggie. I would love to follow them, but do not know how to find them here. I just found Catherine and Lora above. Will follow them.

March 4th, 2012  
The detail seems to be finer in this version, love the b&w image

Fabulous picture. To me it seems evey more beautiful than the coloured one.
