1. I like the moody skies over the lake best. Good to see some monochrome. I have not been shooting much monochrome or palette lately. Will have to change that as autumn comes. Have a wonderful Saturday Lynette. Allan

   1. Thank you very much, Allan. I think I like the lake shot best as well, followed by the daisies. I think the rose looks too brittle, almost like it’s frozen. Could work for some shots depending on the subject, but not this one. Cheers.

2. I like it. The black and white pictures give off a totally different vibe. All three captures are nice, but the first is my favourite.

   1. Thank you very much, Linda. The daisies are more sepia-toned, and I like that effect, too. The rose is my least favourite; too sharp, I think.

3. Right away I thought the daisies were more impressive than the rose in monochrome, but then I scrolled on and saw the lake and that is really impressive.

   1. Thank you very much, Anneli. I think the lake is my favourite, too, followed by the daisies. The rose looks sort of lifeless by comparison. Of course, a lot depends on choosing the right tint for the subject. Cheers.

      1. There isn’t as much natural difference in the depth of colour in a rose, so it’s not as dramatic as with the other pictures. The rose is excellent in colour though.

         1. Yes, they sure are, although I’m still experimenting now and then with monochromatic rose (and other flower) pictures. Cheers.

4. Really love the play you’ve done with these. The rose has that blue tinge. I liked the lightness of the daisies the best. But the lake’s gray, shadowy clouds made me feel like I was there.

   1. Thank you very much, Lori. 🙂 The rose is my least favourite because I think it’s too brittle, like it might shatter. I find the sepia-toned daisies remind me of my grandmother’s house, maybe because all the pictures of her were tinted that way to lesser or greater degrees. That picture evokes comfort for me. I like the lake photo best; agreed, almost like you’re there. Cheers.

   1. Thank you for weighing in. I like the lake photo best as well. I’ve seen it really look like that on stormy days. Cheers.

6. Some photos really lend themselves to monochrome. I’m partial to the daisies😊

   1. I agree; some monochrome photos can communicate so much more depending on the subject. I like the daisies as well – they remind me of my grandmother’s house. Cheers.

7. Daisies but I also like the Okanagan Lake…It’s very eerie.

   1. I like how the daisies turned out but the lake photo is much more dramatic and yes, eerie. Cheers.

8. I liked the daisies right away until I saw the rose. But all three are terrific. The lake shot is something I could stare at. It’s amazing how must more detail you see with a black and white photo – or maybe that’s my imagination!

   1. Thank you very much. 🙂 I agree that black and white communicates differently from colour, especially mood and composition in particular, so I don’t think it’s your imagination at all. Cheers.

9. I like the rose best…. As an image.
   I would try a different toning, though.

   1. Agreed – it definitely needs a different tone. It looks like it’s made out of chalk or some other unappealing substance. Not a good effect. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
