John at The Aware Writer left me a comment recently in which he said he thought a certain photo I had posted in color would work in black and white. I have learned a lot from John, so I played around with the image. I cropped it, then tried it in b&w with different filters and different amounts of light adjustments. The results were OK, but I didn't really like any of them. Then I put it in sepia, and I knew I had a good rendering. The top photo is the result. I liked it so well, I did another, which you see below.

Oh, you were so right. The sepia tone really makes the image.

you've gotten it so right. I'm certain I've never seen a pansy look more beautiful.
Hi Dimple. I missed this one. Nice job. Thanks for the accolades. Another thing you might try is adding a wee tone to a B&W image. Sometimes I'll add a very small amount of sepia to warm up the image a bit.
Thanks for your comment on the red rose. I shot off ten frames. Only one was worth publishing.
It's fun to play around. You never know what you'll come up with until you try.
