I would like to ask peoples opinion about the use of black and white photography being used for flowers..only flowers, nothing else. I personally feel all flowers give us such beauty in all the wonderful colours on earth, I'm an artist yes, and so I have definite feelings about colours. But to me a rose is only a rose when we see its gorgeous colour, and a purple iris is beautiful for its colour...even the lowly dandelion is only looked upon because it is yellow..and all the greenery that comes with flowers.What about the gorgeous photos of orchids?They would not be the same in black and white. The list is endless.There was a time all photos were in black and white, but isn't it great now that we have colours photos? I realize that black and white is wonderfully dramatic, look at Ansel Adams works and it is totally proof of that and many other photographers.. But please, let's hear some comments on this. I'd really like to know what everyone thinks.....I want to be more openminded about this and learn too....... thank you for thinking about this subject...
