Black and White Sunflowers

Hey everyone,
I have not posted for a while, so thought I would share a couple of black and white photos that I took a little liberty with...
These were taken well after sunset on a drizzly day in Colorado.

I hope you enjoy...




and another one

Nice! I love the overall effect. Lovely images, Dave.

Jim

Thanks Jim
Kind of a different look, but I like it.

Hey Dave,

I like them both...but particularly the vertical shot.

James

I agree with James: The inclusion of the horizon and the sky really adds drama to an already dramatic picture. Nicely done!

Thanks Durwood and James. I was really disappointed that day when taking these because I was looking for sunset color contrasting with the yellow sunflowers. However it was so dreary that I thought black and white, along with some "diffusing" would work.

Thanks again
Dave
