My grocery store sunflowers are starting to droop and turn brown on the edges, alas. I took a bunch of macro shots- and then turned two of my favorites to high contrast, split-toned black and whites, which I then textured with Kim Klassen’s golden.
Linking up with Texture Tuesday today.

Lovely in monochrome…
Wow, Melinda sure hope you blow these up and put in your home or a show somewhere. They are just WOW and totally awesome.
Beautiful B&W images!! I have sunflowers on my counter I was wanting to take pictures of today… You have inspired me to try the sunflowers in black and white. Beautiful!
Stunning. Especially the second one. I agree with Barbara!
GORGEOUS!!!!
Stunning! Amazing images.
Great images and processing! Love seeing the sunflowers in black & white as it allows the texture of the flower to become the main attraction.
Gorgeous.
These are wonderful, Melinda! I would frame them and hang them side-by-side.
Sunflowers are one of my favorite to do in monochrome. These are fabulous!
So dramatic! The perfect thing to do with sunflowers that are on the wane.
Two lovely lovely images …. so beautifully captured, they would look amazing as a pair on the wall.
I had sunflowers last year and loved the shots I got from them. Sadly, I have none this year so I thoroughly enjoyed your photo captures. And monochrome seems to always bring out the most amazing details.
agreed with all of the above, melinda! these are simply stunning! i love how you captured them…and so nicely processed!
Beautiful. The split toning is wonderful.
