WW - snowdrops
This is a photo of some snowdrops, honest! This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Thanks everyone. I did take it. Unless otherwise stated All WW and PH photos are my own
The shot was a conventional, if contrasty, monochrome photo. I simply upped the contrast and brightness, adjusted the light balances and painted out a few residual bits of foliage
You and I posted at the same time and you've already got oodles of comments! I find this black and white shot to be really fascinating! The white drops remind me of Pussy Willows! ~~~Blessings~~~
this is wonderful!!! a quite unconventional shot of snow (well, at least for me) but still maintained that downy look we always associate with winter flakes!
That is ultra weird and fascinating! Almost like crazy paw prints!
ReplyDeleteWoah~ That's some unique sights of snowdrops.
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought they were rice :P

ReplyDeleteI am wondering the same thing as stan and James above? How did you do it?
ReplyDeleteThose are wild looking snowdrops.

So that's how snow drops looks like. They are almost the same as cotton balls :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
I love that flower!
ReplyDeleteReally? It looks like a painting. It is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW from Mostly Wordless Wednesday HQ!

ReplyDeleteTanks everyone
ReplyDeleteErr I meant thanks of course!
ReplyDeleteLooks like abstract art to me :-)
ReplyDeleteI got so caught up in the Jesus in the Kit Kat I almost forgot WW but I meandered on over and what do I see snow drops? Well Jams if you say so!
ReplyDeleteThat was the effect I was after Cherie!
ReplyDeleteAh they are snowdrops. Double snowdrops taken from an odd angle!
