Rose

A shot I took today with my Raynox DCR-250 and converted to B&W.

C&C Welcome.

How beautiful! I don't like the out-of-focus part at the bottom/bottom right. Could we see this in color? I think it would be even more stunning in color, but maybe you wanted the droplets to stand out, in which case b/w works fine.

 

[Mank]

Of course you can

I did indeed want the droplets to standout and while playing around I thought the B&W did a good job of it

C&C welcome again.

I guess it was only Rucel that liked it then

Goodness, I forgot to answer! Well, I guess I do like the b/w better, the yellow is to bright to allow the drops any glow of their own.

 

[Mank]

No worries!

Yes, that was my issue I couldn't really get the colour right. It either looked too bright or too flat. So I went for the bright yellow! haha

Looks like it was just Rucel then!
