Here is another shot of that magnolia flower I posted a couple of days ago but with a different crop and background. I hope you like it.

Here is the color version. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1299863

Thanks, Lazlo, my friend. It's possible to like two versions equally. I'm always happy when you like my work.

Warm regards,

Endre

You really have this technique nailed Endre!
I really like the color version because of the contrast and blending of colors that accent the simple blossom of the magnolia.
The b/w really adds mystery to the composition...sort of I am hiding(darkness on the right of the main) then center WOW of light and the textured backdrop..then fade to dark on the left.
Just a pleasure to view...in fact a double pleasure with the color version.

maybe it is the new format, or the half-hidden seed, or the lovely tones and textures on
the leaves, but this image appears to have more drama than most flower photos. it is one I would never tire of viewing.

Strad, I like the shot and I prefer the B&W one. Did you use Nik for the conversion, or somethng else?

[Thanks so much, Tom! I appreciate your very kind and detailed comments.

Do you mean that this has more drama then most flower photos OR that it has more drama than most of MY flower photos?

All best wishes,

Endre

Thanks, Robert! I'm so glad you like it!

I have Nik Silverlight and have tried using it with some success, although I find that I prefer using an action I've got for B&W conversion, since it does a nice conversion only faster.

All the best,

Endre

No, Tom, you need not admonish me to keep my photos coming. It's what I do. I appreciate the kind vote of confidence, though.

All best wishes,

Endre

I don't visit here often but always check out your photos.

I can easily say this is my favorite yours.

If this was musical performance I would be standing and applauding.

BRAVO!!!
