Shot against a white card in darkened room and using LED lights focus on the two larger flowers then rotated through 90 Dergrees right and a crayon effect added to colour the white card. One flower singled out and turned to B/W.
Hence the title play time.
Many thanks to all who took time to comment on my last upload i was surprised as it was highly manipulated shot

A most original bit of processing, Graham: I like the final image very much generally, although I'm not so sure about the black and white bloom. I feel I'd have preferred it left as the others. just my opinion and I hope you do not take offence.

Lovely bit of playing around Graham - V2 is my fav !

I agree, I'm not sure about the b/w flower either.......however......I wonder if either the top flower or the one on left hand side might not be a better mono option? To me, the one that is mono at the moment doesn't create a good balance, but that's just my opinion!
I love the full coloured one though, it's really beautiful.

Have to go with the V2 as the flower in mono (and know how hard and long that would take) distracts from the rest of the bloom, and V2 has an almost like 'tracing paper effect' to it in the presentation, and the framing has set it off so well...so my vote goes to V2 Graham

Against all odds, it works for me.
