Its been a little over a week now since I originally took this photograph. I had originally captured this photograph in color with my digital camera. But once I got back to my digital darkroom (aka my computer) I realized how stunning this photograph would be in black and white. What makes this photograph stunning in a monochrome tone is how the light falls on the photographic subject, the flowers.
The sun was just beginning to rise as I snapped this photograph of the flowers. You can see shadows on the ground as well. Areas of light and dark are what you want to capture when composing a good photograph in monochrome. After doing a little cropping and adding a frame, I knew I wanted to save this photograph for release on a Monday for the Monochrome Weekly blog meme.
If you would like to purchase products featuring this photographic print, I have made them available for a limited time in my Cafe Press Shop.

I like the way you explain about the pictures. Have you had any luck with Cafe Press? It sounds like a great idea!
I am just now starting to seriously use Cafe Press. I will let you know how it works out.
Pretty
You are right that the light is pretty spectacular. It almost hurts the eyes to look at it! Great shot. Aren’t you glad that our “darkrooms” are a “photoshop?”
Stunning photograph. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful picture.
