CEE’S BLACK & WHITE PHOTO CHALLENGE: FLOWERS
Chrysanthemums with a hint of tint and a bit of glow
I admit to a strong prejudice in favor of color for flowers … but I’m also willing to see if I can do something monochrome that I like. These are a bit experimental … and I’m not sure how I feel about them. Something different for a summer day.

Actually I love monochrome flowers. I do like your editing – my favourite is the first one – it looks like an etching. Well done as I know you are keen on monochrome blooms

The first photo looks like a painting to me. I love it it’s very nice.

Thanks. I worked a bit on that one. That’s the only one of the three I really like. The other are okay, but I actually like that one.

You could frame it and hang it up. It would be lovely.

First, I’d have to unhang something else. These walls are full to capacity. To be fair, there are not nearly enough walls in this house. Too many doors and windows.

The world markets were only up because of the low interest rates. Deregulation has led to a wild west of the world banks. We are in uncharted territory and they know it. It could not go on it was hurting far too many people.

These are all great black and white Marilyn. I really like your little lilies on the bottom. 😀

Thank you. I’m still not sure I’m happy with monochrome flowers, but I’m trying to get into the spirit of the experience 🙂

The effort is interesting. But I think the flowers lose life without full color. I hope this isn’t blatantly racist.

I’m with you on the black and white. It’s a very difficult adjustment for my eyes. The chrysanthemums is a solution. Cee’s photos seem to be using macro (right word?) techniques to emphasize the anatomy of the flowers. Which is interesting.

I’m trying to find a way to make a black and white flower seem flowery to me … but so far, I still think flowers do better in color.

Great photos, but I’m in two minds about monochromatic flowers too. I like B&W because it often brings an ominous feel to a photo, but since the flowers are quite cheery it confuses my brain 🙂

Yes, this is not a subject I really enjoy in black & white. I am prejudiced in favor of colored flowers 🙂
