Description

Very similar to an earlier entry even though this is a different flower. I liked the contrast and the dew drops on the petals on this shot better. I added a slight touch of color with Nik ColorEfex Paper Toner

Exif: f/4.5, 1/2500 sec, ISO: 1250, 100mm

I love close ups of flowers, and I wonder if the use of black & white in this image was to enable greater expression of form, as opposed to colour? Lovely detail #11118290
