I like both but something about the gorgeous color just really pops out. I see what you mean about the b/w version though. Its shows lots of distinct qualities and detail that may be overlooked in a color version. Beautiful shot.

Both excellent shots of the clematis, Kathy, one of my favourite plants, BTW! I like the b/w one better though, because it seems to raise it from the "another flower shot", even though a good one, to another level, that I'd call art.
Dave.

Very good macro of this bloom. The stamen are tack sharp. The tones and lighting are good. I prefer the color version.

This is inspirational, Kathy. I would like to try some B&W floral in the future! The B&W tones make one pay more attention to the impact of light on the tonality and depth. I think the B&W shows greater dimensionality.

I can always find time to admire mono toned floral study conversions BUT I still cannot bring myself to do it. Love the colour of flowers, passionately. That said, you have done well with this conversion for it is excellent. The rich purple tones in the attachment seal it for me as that colour is one of the more difficult to capture....Well done to you sweetie, it's a very fine floral composition. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

You did the right thing Kathy. This could be about the nicest BnW flower I've seen. It work very very well. I can see why Susie would perfer the color but I think for me anyways I perfer the Black-n-white virsion! Another excellent shot
Kathy!
Thanks for sharing your vision of this beautiful
flower!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

Wow nice entry into the b/w project. B/W florals just aren't that easy!  ) This one converted really nicely.
Actually if you forced me to choose I think I prefer the color version, just because of the color variations on the stamens. (I think that's what they are called...) and the fact that I LOVE that purple color. But only if you forced me, of course.
Nice composition Sissy.
Give Sam, Nick7, Deb and Nick6 a big love for me tomorrow!

Hmmm. I kinda sorta like the color version better. But that may be due to the frame. The bold black really takes away from the b&w and makes everything seem light. I think a white frame with touch of accent black lines may be better suited. (listen to me, the frame-challenged giving advice)
Now, can we get you back on your life mission? Capturing the barns of Madison County?
Best wishes

This works both ways, it's so interesting how different you view the same image BW vs color. Sort of like closing your eyes to better hear a sound.

Your sister is Susie O'connor? You guys don't even have the same last name ... LOL
Wow, I like this, Kathy. Such lush green (dying for green right now) and the excellent detail of the wood grain, even the moss on the wheel. Great shot.
Thinking about a project, capturing the various wheels around here, they're all over from implenments to carriages. Want to do a montage with them, shooting just the center with a bit of spokes.
Best wishes,
Dave
