Sunflower Monochromes
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…

Great images and processing! Love seeing the sunflowers in black & white as it allows the texture of the flower to become the main attraction.

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.

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.
