I had so many plans for the B&W but I ran out of time again today! Before I do these , I always wait until I have a free week so I can enjoy the challenge but it seems like that is when I get the busiest! I guess next time work is slow I should start up a challenge! :o)
I really love when B&W is one of the topics on the ONS because it is so cool to click on the tag and see full pages of B&W shots! Thank you for joining in guys! :)

I like the contrast

[Taffy]

The textures are brilliant -- all because of your focus choice.

[Nicole Campbell]

Has a real gritty feel to it.

It's difficult to decide what to shoot for B&W! This is good focus and choice of background is great!

[KWind]

It's beautiful!

[amy spada]

I hear you about having time to concentrate on the challenge. That's why I love this challenge though. It makes you take the time and look for things. I like the B&W tones you got here, Jerry.

[Kitti Nelson]

Superb dof - the head of the flower has an almost grainy texture - awesome depth of tone too.

[jenny tucker]

it is hard to get a unique flower shot......much less one in b/w. You've done a great job here!
