Black & White a White Rose in Black

a White Rose in Black · 01:17 AM

A conversion to b/w that I liked better than in color. My focus was on the unopened rose bud in the background which showed up with the blown out sun behind.

I like it, looks good. That rose looks like it has on a very low cut evening gown.

ausmoose · 02-17-2014, 02:08 AM

Wow, that's intense. Nice mood here.

Indeed that's a formal shot from a informal kinda guy.

Nice execution and great detail in the rose. Beautifully done!!

I like the B&W treatment Bob. Roses seem to look good with and without color.

I dig it buddy. It has an air of mystery!

Very nice !

Just look at that petal detail, that's retina cutting sharp.

I see what you mean about that, maybe a little more cleavage would help though.

It's fun to experiment at times, sometimes good things turn up. thanks Bob

Very nice use of light and shadows

Combined with your menacing tree shot you are building up a nice collection of somewhat abstract B&W images. Very different to much of your travelog, but equally as enjoyed.
