My favourite pictures of yours are the ones with more detail; the parsley flower, cabbage, swirling Umbellifer and the heads of the Welsh onions.<br /><br />I'm not sure that it works for the gladioli or the autumn leaves; there seems to be something missing from them.<br /><br />At the end of the day what appeals to one person in a picture may not appeal to another, it's very much a thing of personal preference.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-1278990549407831602014-12-10T11:49:18.206+01:002014-12-10T11:49:18.206+01:00You've got good contrast on these so the colou...You've got good contrast on these so the colour isn't overly important, particularly with the Gladiolus. I love Cosmos too but I think I prefer at least a hint of colour there even if you kept the background monochrome. The cabbage flower is a great photo in the b & w and if you hadn't mentioned the frost element I don't think I'd have felt anything was missing! And, you're right, I like the parsley flower with the darker background. However, I always say there's no right and wrong in photography, like with any art form the beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) I only popped over to catch up with the animal tales!!Lisa1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/10212761260442267800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-66705752746692366202014-12-10T10:00:00.058+01:002014-12-10T10:00:00.058+01:00No expert but here is my two-penneth - a b+w photo...No expert but here is my two-penneth - a b+w photograph is a genre that aims to highlight either, shape and form, texture, atmosphere, depth of field or all of the above. Good contrast, focussing and white balance is important when taking the picture, the rest can be tweeked in editing. I like the cabbage, parsley flower and cosmos for the above reasons. Most of all as an amatuer photographer, I would say that the important thing is to enjoy the process and the results - there are no wrongs and rights. Creativity and form are such a personal matter. The end result is ornament - it can simply adorn or it can tell a story.Ian and Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821746193241943684noreply@blogger.com
