FlashOfRed #2

Second photograph from @olivetreeann's 'flashofred' challenge for February.

Carole bought some more Gerberas on Friday and I've tried to catch the stripe of light from the venetian blinds across the flower heads. Not cerain B&W works with flowers (actually, seem to recall being told that last year on here by one of my followers), but I quite like this

Thanks for your comments on yesterday's B&W offering

[Lou Ann]

Wonderful!

[FBailey]

Beautifully shot

[Milanie]

How nice - A plus to have sun to make that shadow through the blinds.

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot. Mine today is at opposite end of the colour spectrum!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Lovely sharp image - love the light and shadow

[Dawn]

Lovely

[Diana]

Beautiful shot.

[Mave]

Like the shadows round the petals

[Mandy]

The B&W really brings out the textures.

[Henri Russell]

Oh I think this works perfectly.

I usually don’t like flowers in b&w but I think you got the light just right. With this flashofred challenge I am seeing lots more potential in b&w and this is a good example. Thank you.
