Calla in Color

Not sure which I prefer - the color or the B+W version. Shot in sunlight. Used the kit lens

off the Canon Rebel XT - it has very nice macro performance.

A simple elegant composition.

I prefer the colored one. Great composition and light. Regards.

I keep coming back to the color version also. It seems stronger somehow - but the form and texture is also strong (that's why I was betting more on a B+W version). But as my son says, the B+W version seems "flat". Need to ponder this.

I've done callas in b/w and color. I think that the color images turn out better. This is great -- texture, detail, compostion and lighting. Beautiful photo. Peace, C.

Have not seen the B&W, but with the composition, & the delicate softness of the color i find this to be a fine capture. I do not feel a B&W of this image would have captured my attention.

Cool, nicely done.
