I made my annual trek to the rose competition. Didn't see anything too unusual, just your typical gorgeous flowers.

    Inspired, Richard. That's the word I would use! Technically a tour de force. Something to aspire to.

    Nature sure produces some beautiful flowers. These are very nicely captured. Good work.

    Love that second shot. Something about that texture in b&w makes that one pop to me thumb.gif

    Thanks, Pezpix. It does seem like a pity to throw away the color, but you're absolutely right that the texture sometimes comes through better in B&W.
