the same flower as in my main album, only i slipped in a black background to see how they translate to black and white. both were shot in natural light, the window to the upper right. same settings but the exposure decided to change itself. shot in manual and processed in-camera.
This one is nice, but my eye is drawn to the curled edges, and as such I would have preferred a tighter crop, especially getting rid of all that stuff on the lower left!
I like it much better with the dark background! It creates such a nice contrast with the petals, while picking up the dark from the middle of the flower. Great.
