Awesome how good this looks in B&W, Colleen! Love the composition and tones, as well as the outstanding sharpness! #928674Tarun Bose May 25, 2008
Excellent work in b&w. Lovely contrast. Well done Colleen. #5975707Colleen Farrell May 25, 2008
Thanks so much for the great comments, Joerg and Tarun!I think b&w is challenging, but the sage has practically no color, it's sort of a dull grey. So I decided to rely on the shape of the plants to make the image, rather depend on bright colors! :) #5976946
