I was out walking with my 180mm macro, (I even had my camera attached) when I found this; I was probably too close, but I liked how it came out and the backgound Bokeh.

Here is one from my Two of us theme that I'm not sure about; but still think it's interesting in B & W

Leafs b&w

Thanks for Looking
Chewys Dad.

Ditto! I love both! Great shots!
The second seems somewhat mystical!

Both of them are very nice. I think the leaves in bw is excellent, one of those that the color may not be as good

Thank You Stitchbug, I'm kind of new to B & W and am trying different things. I played with the Temperture adjustment on it until I got it where I though it looked best.

Thanks Teedlepeep; You are right, I converted the leaves to B & W for that reason. The color version looked like, Well Leaves. L.o.l

Great shots. Love the dandelion head, brings back memories of being a child and plucking them, making a wish then foofing (is that a word??) the "little fairies" and watching them all fly away. Oh, such imaginations when one is small. . Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I love the colours in the first one, and the second shot is so subtle and beautiful.

Great job on the B&W, works great for the photo. The dandelion stands out though, I like it in this photo version. That happens to be one plant we don't have here and I don't miss them at all.
