Orange Blossom Part Deux

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 26 April 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

As requested, the same orange blossom in colour. I still prefer the black and white. What do you think?

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

You funny xs#x@ZX#! - Orange blossom is white. The only thing that is different is a bit better contrast on the white, and some yellow stemens! Yes ! I do like this better, the contrast is too low on the b&w.

PS. Delete your temporary internet files in Internet Options. I was having a lot of bother too when I realized my poor computer was lagging a lot - I forgot to do any maintenance chores for a while. And when in doubt - reboot!!

@Anne: Yeah, I know... but Rahul wanted the colour so... Glad you got a kick out it.

As to my probs with visiting etc. .. it really is Am3. I've been having probs even at work on the highspeed. But all of a sudden this afternoon things are zinging along quite nicely so am taking advantage. They say it'll get better with the new server in a couple weeks.

PS. There is something wrong with this site tho! The photo and text boxes are viewing too narrow - I can see three days past in thumbnails at the top left, and the same large amount of space on the right. Maybe I'd better check and see that I haven't got something set wrong!!!?

both are the same image with the same compositon and lighting, so both are the same great shot! ;)

but i do think that the black and white gives a better mood to the picture...

just my 2 cents worth of thought... :)

cheers!

I like both, but I'm definitely a fan of colour, so my vote goes to the colour version Amy

Art Monkey from Salt Spring Island, Canada

I think I like this one better - it somehow has more feeling because of the colour - sometimes something works one way for some and the other for others :):):)
