The morning glory is so dramatic in b & w and I do prefer it to the color version. I actually just read "The Secret Life of Bees" a couple years ago, so it would be cool to watch the movie now too. Very beautiful music. xoxo ~Lili Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-22017201667784256482012-10-12T18:44:05.038-04:002012-10-12T18:44:05.038-04:00They are all wonderful, but I prefer the morning g...They are all wonderful, but I prefer the morning glory in color.

Thanks for helping me keep my ipod up to date:)<br /><br />In general I love Black and white photography and I find that these black and white photos really excentuate the textures of those flowers...something that those amazingly rich colors completly overwhelms in both photos. I am terrible at taking a stand on these issues though...somedays I would just need the color and somedays that texture...
