High-noon poppy

[MoinMoin]

I took a highkey picture of my poppy in the afternoon... - played around with it and could not decide for one version. Which one would you choose?

[QuietOne]

The upper right one. The absence of color points out the texture, and the subtler tones of gray show the texture better than the darker grays.

I like the two on the bottom row myself. The shadows need to be there in my opinion.

[miker]

Agree with MA. Of those two I prefer the black and white version though - just seems to pop out more clearly around the edges which I like.

Have to agree with Miker on the b&w version. Those edges are razor sharp and jump right out at ya', and gives the flower lots of depth.

yup, my sentiments exactly
