A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE


The sun was so intense when I took this picture that it blew out the petal. I really liked the shadow play so I converted to black and white and decided to keep the shot.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

une rose est une rose, et le b&w lui va si bien, très belle photo, et j'aime les ombres sur cette photo.

a rose is a rose, and the b&w it is so very beautiful picture, and I like the shadows in this picture.

I love your rose photo. Black and white starkness adds drama, do you think? - Dave

Wow, I really like this picture a lot. I think you could sell it to IKEA : )! I have a picture of theirs in my room that looks almost like this!

But then roses are dramatic whichever way you look at them.

This is impressive shot, indeed! This black and white version is just fantastic, somehow mystic! I do love it!

Never discard a picture,
what better proof than this! :-)
Black and white really plays up what could have been a flat picture otherwise, great job.

If by posting my personal experiences about TVT surgery helps just ONE woman, I will feel that it is a job well done.

Simple image has such a strong impact.

Well done.

It's beautiful! Love it in black and white.

John Roberts said...

Your B&W's a re really looking good! You've emphasized the shape and form of this flower instead of the color, and it works!

How lovely, Sue.

JAM said...

I like it too. It looks a lot like the old masters like Weston and the early 20th century photographer's stuff. Simple and dramatic.
