Photograph of the Day at Photography Cafe<\/a> is always a lovely surprise, and this image of a Camellia, was even more of one.\u00a0 This was a repost after some suggestions from another member to improve the conversion from colour to B&W.\u00a0 Taken at Haldon Grange near Exeter, I loved the shape and softness of the Petals,\u00a0 but in colour it just seemed like another “flower” shot,\u00a0 with a soft conversion to a split toned B&W I felt really improved it.<\/p>\n

Here is what the reviewer “Big Al” had to say<\/p>\n

I’m claiming some POTD glory this morning with my editing suggestions, but Jane created the general concept. The brown monochrome tone carries an air of decay about it and leads us to think of the camellia (with its naturally ragged petals) as dying. So that is likely to be your first instinctive impression. Then the thoughts change as you take in the delicate folds that are captured by the retention of detail in the whites. The nicely off-centre flower is well counterbalanced with the subtle leaf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
