Alisa at Where’s My Backpack has challenged us to share photos that celebrate contrast. A few days ago I posted my first black and white iPhone photo here and the always curious Photography Journal Blog promptly asked if I was going to show the original color version too. Thanks for the great idea! I snapped this image with my iPhone 5 during a break in the rain at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and I would love to hear your thoughts. Color or black and white?
If you would like to join this travel theme or participate in future challenges please follow Alisa’s directions below:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Contrast
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday

I like both versions. The black and white is unexpected so for that reason I think it has something special to offer. You see the shapes and contrasts in black and white.

Both are divine. The color really pops….but the B&W makes the fields look like they go back further. Wonderful!!
