The Dahlias Go Black & White

Yesterday I combined my love of dahlias with my love of soft focus. Today I combine my love of dahlias with my love of black and white.

These three images are all from the same flower, which is unusual for me. I call them Close, Closer, Closest. Shockingly original, I know.

This isn’t the first time I’ve tried dahlias in black and white. It’s always interesting to me how some images will work as well or better when converted and others will lose all their impact.

I’m thinking about one more dahlia post before moving on to something else. Is four in a row pushing it? We’ll see.
