Thanks @brianhphotos

ingenious initiative. I think about participating

What make the flowers beautiful is because of its color. This is the real challenge how to drow attention on B&W flowers

Lots of creativity in here. I am just gushing at how beautiful they still can be even in black and white.

Thank you.
