Water Lilies in B&W

redleash

Since I had some positive responses to my B&W image in my other water lilies thread, I thought I'd post a separate thread with only B&W conversions. Please let me know your thoughts on these.

Thanks,
Lauren

#3 clap The B&W works so much better when allowed to stand on it's own merit and not compete with the color images. #1 is a bit too soft and #2 abit too bright for my taste. Also neither of them show the fine detail of #3 which is important IMHO for flower shots.

Thanks, Jack! #3 is my favorite also. Looks like maybe I have 2 successful water lily shots for my life list . . .

Any other comments on this B&W series before I move on to something else?

Thanks,
