Since they are usually in color, I wanted to try them in b&w, still trying for movement, clarity and light.
Thanks for your kind treatment of my "Metal Man" shot from yesterday. I appreciate your kindness, very much. Still working through the final days of high school for my youngest... graduation tomorrow. Amazing.
10/1/2020: Finished year 7 (!), with continuing gratitude towards this amazing community. Based in St. Louis, MO. Regular worker-bee and self-taught photography dilettante....
B&W gives this such an artistic feel. And the sparkly bokeh adds to it as well. BTW, thanks for your comments on the Greece shots -- love the idea of Greece envy! You'd love all the architectural shots here!
The B&W really simplifies this rather busy image, and shows off the structure of the flowers. I really like the single flower against the black background - could make such an effective stand-alone image.
