Study of a Gerbera in Monochrome

weekend bouquet (4)-2

I find gerbera to be a stylish and simple flower, I spent few moments taking photos from different angles and them trying to edit them into “Artistic”monochrome pictures.

I have been very, very lazy in participating  in Monochrome Madness and as the photos there are always so gorgeous, I am also very disappointed of my laziness. This week , well, here is my post for the challenge. I visited French Riviera early October and this is taken at there.

MONOCHROME MADNESS: High- for MM 3-12

It has been a long time since I took part in Monochrome Madness , I always seem to be a day late. The images there are worth looking at so have a look at the other entries too, lots of talented photographers participate in this challenge.

Here is my entry for this week, the theme was HIGH – Eiffel towel in Paris is that…I played with two images and ended up sending this highly edited version. Most of the time I want my photos to be as natural as possible, this time I chose differently,  comments?
