 This is Day 7, and is my Day 6 image called 'Irises', which I first 'surfaced blurred', and then changed using a 'Gradient Map', toned in 'Black & White'.

I also burned and dodged areas, to make the image stronger.

It is now a 'floral' abstract.

Can anyone see the women in a black dress, with stockings on, and her legs crossed. I noticed a few of you did, but it is definitely an iris flower.

Enjoy.....

This one is not my favorite. I think it's lacking detail in B/W. But, that's just my opinion. The color one is STUNNING!

I like the idea behind this one, and usually I love abstracts, but this shot was more effective in color. I think it needed stronger composition to be good in black & white.

Very unusual, I like the softness, but perhaps it's a little too abstract.

Wow, so abstract Shez. The colour version looks like a flower, but this, well, it really doesn't.

From the thumbnail, I thought this looked like a woman's legs. Thought I was in the wrong thread.. :P Once I clicked and saw the detail and the image in color I got it! Nice abstract! Love the creativity!

Interesting approach sherpet but in all honesty. . . can't get into this one. And I love black and white shots.
