@shutterbug49 Maybe it has something to do with the care they got before they got to us. @grammyn Thank you for the comments and tips. I'll take it outside and shake it down. I'm tried of sweeping up leaves. @olivetreeann Thank you Ann. Almost SOOC! All I did was straighten it a bit. My camera has a creative style called Rich Monotone.
@randystreat I think I have something like that in my point and shoot- I'll have to check it out. Some of the in-camera effects are really nice when it comes to black and white.
I can't get a poinsettia to last. Their sole purpose is to look glorious right at Christmas time and then shed their leaves as quickly and messily as possible. Waaay back when I worked as a housekeeper at a nursing home, they were the bane of my existence. Might as well make this one serve as a nice beginning to your B&W FOR February.

You guys are so supportive both for my photography and my horticultural skills. I'll keep watering it until it's shot. And sweeping up the leaves every few days.
