Thank you very much, @ricksnap @aikiuser @bkbinthecity @ingrid01 and @ghost13
I like how the focus fades on the left hand.
And I also like the smell of chrysanthemums. And that of carnations. But neither smell or carnation is in the picture.

These flowers shine even without color.

Remind me on this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_Golden_Flower

Very pretty. Lovely in b&w.

Thank you, @borof @pyrrhula and @shutterbug49
@pyrrhula - i am not much of a film watcher but maybe i.ll give it a try.

[Pyrrhula]

@monikozi I do . This is like a Chinese Shakespeare story.

The b&w versions really seem to take the haze out of the color photos, IMHO.

Thank you, @mikelskoog . i find it extremely interesting to see the difference in feel between colour and b&w images.
