It does seem perverse to photograph the guerrilla garden’s very colourful crab apples in monochrome. I anyway didn’t much care for the result. Then I started tweaking the exposure and contrast in my editing programme and thought that this was quite an interesting ‘take’ for Cee’s challenge this week of circles and curves. And then I had a look at the photos I’d taken of the dewy grass over in the field – some very gentle curves and glittery droplets, blue or sepia tinted. Pleasing, I thought.

I like the grain and definition you get in black & white, though I still don’t think flowers look particularly good in black and white — unless they are already white. I didn’t recognize the apples as apples until I read the text, but I really like the arching grass and raindrops.
I agree on all fronts, Marilyn, about grain, definition and problematical flowers. B & W often seems to create an alternative reality somehow.
Beautiful artistic effects you have created Tish.
Thank you, Pauline.
The apples are excellent. I think this just shows how important it is to use different effects / tweaking colours on a black and white photo.
Excellent that you like this, Jude. The tweaking part with B & W can be very fascinating, can’t it. And with surprising results.
Oh what a beautiful photo for this week Thanks Tish 😀
Many thanks, Cee 🙂
I do like those crab apples in monochrome….
Thank you, Sue.
😊😊
Gorgeous images, TIsh. I love the glittery droplets. They look like jewels.
I’m an absolute sucker for these kinds of jewels 🙂
It’s fascinating isn’t it how you think a photo doesn’t quite work, then you spot a challenge and yay it has a fabulous home. I love your crab apples
Wey-hey! Thanks, Su.
Great photos!
Thank you, Kendall.
Welcome!
This may sound like sour grapes…er apples, but I like the grasses.
That is absolutely fine by me, Stephen. Grasses win. Hoping you and yours are well 🙂
Very high-tech-noir-looking. 🙂
