This is from the same shot as yesterday. I never shoot in b&w because Snapseed does a better job than the native filters. I liked the photo yesterday but here I played with the color on the b&w tool to bring the reflection in the original back. It always seems odd to me that a b&w tool has color settings.
Shutterbug, I find your serie on b&w flowers absolutely magnificent. You are exploring an amazing variety of techniques, and all of them have provided exciting results : the sharply detailed white on white of the iris, the macro details of the community flower heart, the poetic management of focus in the spring flower image, the white on black of the narcissus with the little flower on the side as a teasing detail, and then this work on reflection ... This is all extraordinary, I hope there will still be more to come !
@etienne Thank you! I always enjoy the b&w month even though for some reason I seldom do it. I am having fun with it. I am doing the Flash of Red so I have one more regular b&w flower, followed by a splash of red and then we have a week of portraits and a week of abstract. The whole month is b&w except Valentines Day. Thanks for your feedback.
Beautiful work! Bringing up the reflection was the right thing to do. The picture is even better now. The colors on your black and white sliders are like filters that you can put on your camera when shooting in black and white. Different filters will affect the contrast of your black and white shot or enhance the mid-range gray tones. A red filter will really bring out the blacks. Blue and green have a softer affect on them and yellow brightens the whites (if memory serves me correctly!).
