FLOWERS (Black and White)

It would be nice to think you will all scurry away and take photos specially for the challenge, or at least reprocess something from your library.

Processing will be all important - to see what you can bring to a subject that most people would usually only consider in colour. But flowers have so many other qualities - lets see what you can discover and how you present it.

Rules

! VERY IMPORTANT ! please reply to the FIRST (ORIGINAL) post if you are submitting an entry and please RENAME THE SUBJECT TO INDICATE THE TITLE OF YOUR PHOTO ENTRY.

The host gives you a topic of interest and you get going. you will submit your best work. You post ONE image (if you post more than one image, the first will be your entry in the challenge).

The host chooses a winner after closing. The decision of the judge (the host) is final. The judge is not eligible. The winner then chooses the next topic, runs the challenge, judges the winner and passes on the baton to that person. If the winner fails to post a new challenge within 72 hours of being declared the winner then the runner-up should post the new challenge within a further 24 hours.

Any picture you’ve taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera it was taken with. That's right, nikon or canon or pentax or whatever - build your own pinhole if you like.

Feel free to comment on other contestant’s images. if you want someone to leave you a piece of constructive criticism, put (CC) next to the title of your image. e.g. rose in flames (CC).

Please embed your image in the thread. Try to resize your photos prior to posting so they’re sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (800 to 1000 pixels on the longest side works best.)

...and give your baby a title.

A few samples, but surprise me, find something new.
