A field full of flowers- my entry for the #Monomad challenge

Well hello there to all of you colourful and creative people in the #blackandwhite community here for the magnificent #monomads challenge so kindly created by @monochromes!

This is my entry for the latest #monomads challenge and I thought that I'd experiment with some flowers and take the fun out of them to see what happens in B&W.

These images were taken (by me ofcourse) at #Floriade Tulip Festival in Canberra just over 3 years ago.

I hope that you enjoy them and don't have as many mixed feeling about taking the colour- the life- the joy and the pure beauty out of them as I do.

And in saying that, just imagine if this was the world that we lived in. And in many respects, unfortunately it is.

Black and white does give quite the perspective. Sometimes, it can be very interesting, like in your first picture. I have to agree with you that I like the color better. People in black and white photography are interesting as it often takes about ten years off of how old they look. I could use some of that, lol! Take care and thanks for sharing!💜

Yeah I think that portraits and some landscapes look great in B&W and maybe some very detailed flower petals or leaves, but not so much in flowers in general I don't think...Oh well it was a good experiment...🤣🤔

YEah lolll- B&W tvs used to be all the rage back then cause there was no other choice!

Going through mum's old recipe books from the 70 and 80s today mostly B&W in the 70s and colour in the 80's and what a difference that makes!

Take care!

Yeah so true!
I LOVE the digital world and have only gotten into it the past 15 years though.
