As dark as the night...

It is fun fooling around with edits... Not to alter the image... But to play up or down tones and shade, light and dark!

Here, I have some flowers off a tree; not too sure what type or its name... I will post the colour ones later. They are definitely colourful and very attractive.

As they are of a darker colour, it is sometimes a little more difficult or challenging to convert to black and white, especially in natural surroundings and not in controlled settings.

Anyway, here they are... My aim was to make them kinda glow in the night or dark!

This flower is of a rather dark shade with white and even dark veined centres ~ most attractive indeed!
For those who like colour or colourful flowers... sorry, I had to 'darken' the situation!
Darken to almost as dark as night... That was fun!
The flower with the white veins came out strong, I thought
So did the round leaves which looked kinda like water lily pads
Here, again, the veins of the leaves stood out in the dark

Muted or blurred most of this shot, except what I want you to look at
The middle of the flower...
In profile
Lovely curves, and veins that stood out
Do you ever study a flower? Actually study them?
I feel fortunate sometimes that taking a photograph makes me look extra carefully at details
And to appreciate things especially nature, better
Happy Monday, everyone!
