The Weekend in Black and White

I shot this wonderfully spiky tulip in both
full (hot pink) color and black and white.
The biggest difference?  In the color photo,
what you see is . . . the color.  But in
monochrome, you notice everything else.

  1. It's amazing, Alexa. I thought for a moment it was a sea anemone {a very stationary one!}

  3. Yes! That's what I love so much about black and white - you see it all! Your tulip rivals my mutant daffodil for complexity, but is rather more neatly arranged.
