https://getdarker.com/editorial/articles/qynm5bth Same flowers, but three different ways to view them. There are times when I love seeing the world in full, living color. Other times I prefer my world to be somewhat muted, a bit quieter. And once in a while I like the simplicity that black and white offers, a focus on the elemental shapes, fewer distractions.

  1. source site I nearly always prefer the natural colors, and I think perhaps that is because when I see them in person, that is the version that attracted my eye to them in the first place.

    source link So many beautiful images Bo. I totally love your art. These blossoms are especially gorgeous.

    https://geolatinas.org/dwe634z9 Thank you for all the sunshine and beauty you bring so frequently to my life Bo.
    Angels be with you.

      Thank you, Wendy. I am blessed to be coming into the seasons of plenty as far as gardens and flowers are concerned! 🙂

  3. Love the variations here. Especially love the soft-muted tones (the middle one). Amazing how we can change the mood and feel of an image by simple processing.

    • Bo Mackison says

      I like the muted one, Too, Marcie. It reminds me of the photographs and pictures from the days of my grandparents. Everything in my childhood home was quiet and muted, maybe to calm the soul, hmm?

  4. dogwoods are simply magic, anyway you present them. If I had to pick, it would probably be the middle one. Subtle suits the dogwood.

    • Bo Mackison says

      Yes, dogwoods are not a pretentious flower. Thanks for visiting and commenting, Jane. I love your photographs on your blog, BTW.

  5. Very interesting contrast. Each has its merits. I usually prefer the natural look (ala Montucky), but my eye does focus on different aspects of the flower when it is muted or B&W. So I’ll cop out and say all of them. 🙂
