Lily

The lilies in our backyard were blooming a few weeks back, so it gave me a chance to practice some close up photography.  This photo looked OK to me in the color version but when I converted it to black & white using Silver Efex Pro it seemed to show off the flower's detail, simplicity and beauty that much better.

  1. I agree. I like the black and white choice. It makes it this striking and prominent figure against the black background. And yet, the texture is so soft and delicate. Pretty!

  2. This is a cool shot - very simple. Could be blown up as a nice picture on the wall. It made me wonder what it would look like if you added a little color back in...like pale yellow to the pistil as a duotone image?
