About oh noooo.......Im hocked!


I tried to take night pictures, people still life but what I really enjoy now is black and white flora!
When ever I see a flower I immediately imagine what it would look like in B&W!!!
This is an image I took few months ago, thought it looked good in black and white

I would like to know what u guys think about it

Sorry I haven?t commented much today I have a bad cold!

Hi shady
Why NOT black and white?
I did post both the colored and the black and white
Here I turned it into black and white to show the texture and form of this pretty flower instead of focusing on the bright pink color ? the original-
thanx for the comment
Heres the link to the colored image

This is photography when I found a lot of inspirations. Like the light you've used, contrast and also the choice of flower ... sunflower (helianthus) ? I think that idea convert it black and white was super, cause it represents better flower body ...

Keep up the good work, Arwa. Best regards, Matej.

A good B&W floral can be hard to achieve. With floral photography its usually the color that grabs at one's attention. What I love about b&w floral images is that its no longer about the beauty of the color, but of the shapes of the petals themselves-it allows the real beauty of the flower to be shown. Of course not every floral image works well in b&w-but I believe the one you have here works perfectly. The details are just superb, and the composition couldn't be better. Well done~

Oh no is correct. Did you retire? I don't think so. Did you get married? I don't know.. I have not seen any of you images in a while...I hope you're okay.

As you know I am a 'colour flower' person - however there are times when B/W is stunning and this is definitely one of those excellent detail and shading within the B/W

I understand what you mean Arwa.. My friends Amna & Rawabi always tell me to stop photographing flowers, and work on some other subjects, which I'm trying.. But I alwasy come back to the flowers.. Maybe not like you, B & W.. :)
Back to the photo.. It's brilliant, and wonderfully well detailed.

Hi Arwa, I like your floral BW shot! It's very very nice. Actually I usually skip flower shots because I find them boring, but this one is really interesting for its perpective and small dof.
I am sure that this bw version is much better than the corresponding color version. BW has the powerful ability to put shape in great evidence without distractions.

ciao!
