Oh, so pretty & good thinking combining the 2! I don't think I could pick a favorite, because I really like both.

Hmmm. Like them both but maybe for this time of the year the b&w (and I don't know why). Both lovely. (Re: your comments - Stephanie Plum is super; my wife raced through all of them and enjoyed them; I'm taking them a little bit slower - on #8 at the moment - and expect to have a long relationship with the Jersey girl. She's a honey.)

beautiful in monochrome and multichrome!

Becky said...

I really do like the yellow photo.

My MYM is here. Please stop by if you get a chance.

Lovely flower. The two shots have such a vastly different feel to them - the b&w is serene where the color one is cheerful.

You did well on both the monochrome and yellow...you are clever huh, thanks for sharing.

Beatiful mono. Pretty yellow. I like 'em both!

It works... it isn't just roses that look good in mono.

anyhow you feature it, the output is still beautiful... from the solace of the monochrome to the magic of the mellow yellow. great job.

Both are very beautifully done!! The yellow brightens up my day as it is so icky outside but for the sake of photography... the B&W is stunning!

Both are very beautiful close ups and it just shows how the same image can be so different in different tones.

Works for me! I like seeing the colour and the B&W. Cool.

VALKYRIEN said...

Beautiful, I love the shadow on the second one!!

Linnea said...

Wonderful shots - both of them. How clever to combine both memes. Maybe I'll have to try that next time. I love how you captured the soft light and shadow. Enjoy the day.

penny said...

I like the clever way you did the two photos;) Bravo!

Methinks such multi-tasking is a good thing and I enjoyed seeing your yellow blossom in monochrome too. It makes me want to experiment with some of my photos. My Mellow Yellow Monday is at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,

Nice shot. I love both of the photos, they are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them. Have a blessed week!

Unknown said...

Very well done. Great captures!

I love both photos. I am dabbling in b&w as well and it is interesting as to what you see in B&W and not in colour. Great shots as usual

BNS said...

Interesting study, showing the two versions together. Well done.

Unknown said...

Both are just beautiful. The original is so beautiful (I m guessing the yellow one is the original) and the monochrome is output of processing.)
