Catch the light...

One of our local parks was really covered in Wood anemones about two months ago. I noticed the sunlight shining through the white petals and making shadows of the antlers. I decided to convert to B&W to emhasis these shadows.

Great play between shadows and light. I love seeing the anthers/stamens through the petals in a backlit scenario. Cool Work, Ellen

Ellen, This is a beautiful job--the photography, the lighting...

No suggestions.

Beautiful conversion and image Ellen. Love the shadows but also the anthers showing between the petals. I also like the placement in the frame.
