No Need For Colour

Or is there?

none needed....the texture, composition and everything about this shot is marvelous. I'd love to hear how you did this.

No need indeed !! ........................... Wow ! ................ Looks like something out of 'Hanna In Wonderland'.

Beautiful, Hanna..... I love the details and the textures of the flowers...

The silvery tonalities are great, but there is also a wonderful sense of fluid motion in the composition.

Beautiful macro, Hanna!

ONe of the best flower shot I've ever seen. Amazing composition. It is so rich in details and my eyes keep trying to find more and more. Beautiful conversion as well.

Great tones, texture, contrast... I don't miss the colours!!

it oozes life. Great composition. my only distraction was the wood inthe upper right.not sure about that part.

Beautifully done Hanna. This is remarkable. Excellent composition, excellent detail, beautiful tonality. It's very nice to see this still being done. I commend you. Now, if you could just do it on film.... ;.)

you really got my full attention! Breathtaking capture! Wonderfully and fearfully made - very nicely placed picture elements makes a excellent composition! thanks!

Carl :)

I am in awe of this shot Hanna! Wonderful detail!

Thankyou all so very much for your generous comments. I guess they answer the question with a resounding NO. Regardless of the frequent moans on Pnet about flower shots, they continue to be one of my favourite subjects, and a challenge to come up with something "original" (whatever that means)

I think color wouldn't do justice to the beautiful texture and form of the leaves. very inspiring.

I'm so glad I took some time to dig into some images to find this gem! Unique and NO COLOR needed! Full of rhyhm and grace! Tremendous! 7/7

Very good b&w. Love the range of tones. Tough crop but I think you nailed it.

well done photo except one thing - the tree in background, which blends with part of the foreground flower; this confirms my opinion that the photographer is the most important part of photo - with mediocre camera make such a good shot; keep going that way Hanna!

Hanna, this is really cool. It's one of the best flower shots I've seen, and the best shot I've seen of yours. Super angle, great detail, and nice tonal range. I'd have been very, very happy to have taken this one. Congratulations on the great shot.

Robert, thanks very much and I'm very very happy to hear you say so.

i love it! its probably the best and most original flower pic ive ever seen. love the tones and the motion the upward petals give. superb!

Pernilla, thank you for your comments and all the attention you have paid to my portfolio. Your compliments are very generous. I see you have a preference for b&w. Will you be posting photos of your own in the future?

This is just outstanding mainly due to an extraordinary composition. So very well seen and captured.
