Monochrome

Anthemis in another light.

I'm not a great fan of mono floral images. What's the point of taking away the colours when that's what makes a flower beautiful. However this really works.The angle. The over exposed areas. The spire. Even the white vignetting. Very unusual and original.

Really catches the eye this one ... Agree with you on this pic Chrissie ...it just works . I think AB has only posted mono images.... Looks like you may have had to lie down to get this angle ....or have very short legs   AB....  

I really like the way the really bright light shines through the petals to make them translucent ...  Another memorable shot ....

Many thanks both....the Anthemis were white so there there was nothing lost regarding colour....a 'Tying my shoelace Photo' Clicker.

I posted a similar one looking overhead at some tall white climbing roses a few weeks ago AB and I liked the way the flowers were almost transparent against a bright background....all I really wanted was a bee to land in one so that  I could have captured his shadow /silhouette  inside the rose ... but  hey ... you can only crick your neck looking up for  a limited time .... so I lost my patience after half an hour .....

Looking forward to seeing more of your monos ...

I don't take that many pics.most of mine are those By Chance photos,the unexpected...the only exception is achitectual pics when my camera gets really warm.Catherdrals are one one of my great interests with all those corners,columns and corners to turn,they are achitectectual gems to me,I don't understand what goes in them buts its my way of paying homage to all those poor souls who gave their all for us to admire such beautiful buildings.

Well it's quality not quantity  eh?..

Maybe you'd like to show some of your stuff on Cathedrals on the Urban / Architecture forum AB ...I'm actually quite surprised there aren't more photo's posted  of that ilk ....I love them too ...maybe we'll start posting  some more eh? ..all arches and angles.!..

This is all about shape texture and light. For once the colour of flowers is not really a factor..

Once again, a well crafted, beautifully thought out creative photograph, with excellent mono post processing.

achybreaky - you're allowed to call your pictures something other than 'Monochrome', you ARE posting them in the monochrome forum after all!

Ok Chris got that,cheers and to you Fuji.

He's obviously  a man of few words Chris ..... Unlike some of us...

There is a case sometimes for "less is more"...

That said ... It is rewarding when someone takes the time to write something, ( like "this I all about shape texture and light." ) that shows that they get it so to speak.... and that's what came across with your initial comments ... I thought yeah .. He gets it too.

A definite thumbs up AB  ... Which has to be better than.
