iPhoneography Monday: 1-20-14

iPhone Monday 1-20-14

Today is the third Monday of the month which means it’s time for January’s black and white week over at Lens and Pen by Sally’s Phoneography Challenge.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to post today until I came across this small trillium photo from last spring. While I like the overall composition I’ve thought the fern fronds in the background were distracting and I wasn’t happy with the shades of green so it has sat quietly in the folder waiting for me to realize I should stop trying so  hard and give it a chance in black and white.

    First, trilliums are treasured wildflowers in my area. I have them in my woodland area along with Jack in the Pulpit. They’re delicate and lovely as your image shows. It’s a delight that way the flower pops in monochrome. Happy Phoneography Monday.

      I used Snapseed to convert it to black and white. It’s my favorite app and the one I am the most comfortable with.

        I think so, but if they are charging a few dollars it is really worth it.

    The trillium is our Provincial flower for Ontario, and it’s illegal to pick them back home. Great pic!

      A great flower choice for Ontario! Our state flower is the rhododendron. 🙂

    Great photo…isn’t it amazing how sometimes going back to a photo left sitting, and changing from color to black and white can make all the difference? The leaves are quite lovely.

      Thanks Angeline, I agree that a little time and distance from a photo can open up new ideas. 🙂
