Just After Sunrise
The daffodils have come and almost gone and I've been meaning to post this TTV image for a while so here ya go. The sun was barely above the horizon which made for great lighting. The monochrome version is here
This is one of my favourites. I practically had to break Snapper's arm to get him to post it in colour. The B&W is great, but this is stunning! You'd think by now he'd know that the wife is always right!
I like the color version much better. B&W photos of flowers can be extraordinarily beautiful - I think of Mapplethorpe's lilies - but this is all about glorious morning color. Nice work.
I knew there was some arm twisting going on here. Snap, I think Mrs. S. is absolutely right on this one. I looked at the BW and granted it is lovely but the color wins this round. V

Not sure what TTV means but can see the difference from your usual style of image.
The light here sure is special. I really like the way the stem is illuminated.
Bit hesitant about the mono version.

I have to agree, this image is beautiful in color. The light is warm and inviting. Very nice.
