Sam's Week- Leaves 3

Since I'm combining the One Night Stand challenge with the topic chosen by my grandson Sam (leaves) this week, today's shot had to be in black and white. I noticed we'd had some rain overnight and the leaves were dotted with raindrops this morning. This cluster had a nice contrast with the wet wood of the deck so I took the shot with converting it to black and white in mind. However, when I saw it in color, it was hard to stick to my intentions! You can see the color version here:

The distinctive profiles of the leaves go very well in B&W.

Your leaves are doing far more interesting things than mine! Mine mostly just sit around on plants being leafy... :)

[Rick Schies]

Nice choice

[Joyce]

Love the way you've captured this in B&W it's really effective Fav

[katy]

The textures and water seem to show better in the B&W!

[Sandy]

This looks really nice in B&W. What is Sam's One Night Stand challenge? I guess I should check the discussion tab to find out, huh?

[Sandy]

I just went to the discussions tab, but couldn't find the link. I clicked on your ons10 tag, but it just took me to the pictures--not the instructions.

[Rebecca]

mmm tricky one - they are both very good! like the way the water drops look like miniature puddles

[Pyrrhula]

Love both . They have qualities of there own

Sam was not involved with the One Night Stand challenge. He just told me I should take pictures of leaves- so I combined his request with the One Night Stand parameters for this shot.

This one tells a different story. The colour tells of autumn
