OK, boring, I know. I know a lot of people on here don't seem to like Black and White, but I love it. It gives the photo a classical feel, IMHO. So here is my Stock Gerbera in Black and White complete with simulated dew drops. BTW the grain is intentional. All that was done to this beauty is an automatic saturation adjustment, brightness up 5, contrast up 10, convert to B&W, resize, sharpen, as 2 pixel black border and save. I've gotten to the point that I don't particularly care if people like my photos or not. I'll never please the DPC crew so I'm done trying. I like my pictures and that is all that matters. Now, you may ask, what is the point then of submitting to the challenges. Well, my answer is quite frankly because I can. :-P

I think this would have done better if it remained in colour. I believe a lot more detail and emphasis on the waterdrops would have been realized. Still a good shot. Good Luck.
