4th August 2014 - Teasel (2)

For my Mentoring Group @taffy @newbank @888rachel @sullivar @golftragic

This came out differently from what I had imagined. I upped the contrast a little to show the detail on the teasel. I like the way the bokeh is more defined. I will be interested in your comments - should I have left it colour?

Gorgeous composition and light.

[gloria jones]

Nice composition, textures...like the b&w.

[Bill Thornhill]

The B&W really works well here.

[Margaret Obey]

I love the composition Pam and the light in the image

[Helen K]

Light in B&W shows up beautifully.

[Taffy]

Wow -- b&w makes the thistle and the blurred background worthy -- the bokeh on the flower/grass is wonderful!

[Maggiemae]

It actually looks like a microphone here! Neat photo!

[mikeharris]

Great in B&W.

[Pam Knowler]

@maggiemae Yes it does - how funny!!

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Lovely shot, great comp & lovely contrasts :)

[Sarah Munnings]

I think this is fab in b&w.....no colour to distract

[Danette Thompson]

I like the details better here.

[Je77rey]

Great b&w

[Sue Wilde]

Fabulous detail

[Milanie]

Really nice!

[Nita]

Beautiful, I love the light in this one.

[Rachel]

Surprisingly, I'm going to go with the b&w one. In the colour one, my eyes are drawn to the yellow flower, but the b&w really shows up the teasel as the star of the show. Very nice!

[Sharon]

Great capture, love it in b/w
