Just some black and white flower shot .

What do you thinks ??

Quite Nice. Comes off very well in B&W. You should post a larger photo.

It would be interesting to see a colour version for comparison Tran. Like Spyglass says I think a bigger image would do it more justice.

I really like the color one.. Thanks for posting it..

The black and White on this just doesn't do much... I personally dont think it has enough layers for a B&W.. but the color... now its a good pic!!!

I'm with Kim on this one. The BW just looks a little odd because of the water reflections as well. That aspect shows through much better in the colour version.

Yep, colour version is better Tran, but I think the image would have been enhanced if more of the flower was in focus.

Kim , Peter :

Thanks . I knew the color version has more "pop " but I couldn't resist giving it a try at BW .I like to make mistakes in photography . Learn much more

.

Paul :
Yep . I agree , I was trying to get both the flower and reflection in focus...and failed !

I hate to be a contrarian, but I enjoyed the B&W version - right now I'm playing with B&W conversions more than ususal so maybe I've just got the vibe.

BTW, my friend, I also like to make mistakes in photography - I'm better at that than anything!
