Description

While these flowers abound in gorgeous color, I thought I would see how many tones I could retain after converting the image to monotone! I wasn’t sure if I should enter it in Digital Darkroom , or Flowers, so I decided on the digital darkroom category!

Exif: F Number: 36, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 66.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
