This is another experiment in digital monochrome.
I posted a similar image in color a few weeks ago, and somebody suggested I try it in B&W.
So I did!
I think I am finding something quite interesting--
B&W seems to allow for more extensive and more extremes of tonal variation while still maintaining an acceptable (and even beautiful) image than color allows. (Push color tones or shades too far and the image quickly looks preposterous.)
So this is my trial image for today; tomorrow I might see it completely differently--and perhaps even that will also be good.

If there are any inputs, I'm sure open to them!
Suggestions for post processing techniques are good too, as I'm just now learning how digital images convert to B&W.

Having posted it, I immediately see that I need to learn how to frame a B&W image (with a white background) for posting on this site!

I agree with Sailor, nicely done and a pleasure to view.

Now this is one that I immediately like better in monochrome. No distractions, just the blooms. Well done.

That's sort of the way I felt about it, Mike. Sometimes the color is better, but in this case the monochrome really seems to carry the message.

Obviously I still have a lot of experimenting and learning to do. But this first step was so enjoyable that I'm looking forward to the next.
And I want to say how important it is to get such encouraging words from you folks.
