These photographs show the effects of isolating flowers in a group. In this case I have done one photo in colour and another in black and white to make the point that the technique works in most situations.
Alone in the Field (Two Photographs)

Out of focus flowers make for nice backgrounds for other flowers. Depth of field is the tried and true way to isolate a subject, assuming a good background. Fields of flowers offer several approaches for good photographs but this one works very well.
Not Noise, Not Grain (Two Photographs)

Noise and grain are often confused. The first is a result of the sensors attempts to capture light at high ISO, the second was a function of old-fashioned film, you bought film that would give you the grain you wanted. Here it is a function of detail enhancement and the effect on the background; when you are increasing tonal distinctions in the monochrome range this is what you can get and depending on your taste it works or it doesn’t.

This is one of those cases where I cannot make up my mind which photo is better. In the black and white I played with the software to get an interesting background for the flower. A touch exaggerated but a very nice flower.

Most modern software apart from Lightroom and Photoshop, automatically apply too much colour saturation for my taste. Though I suspect this is because that is what the majority of photographers want. You just have to pull back the sliders to avoid this. I have tried these flowers with a bit more saturation to see how it goes. By the way, a photograph to be processed in black and white will benefit from a bit more contrast and saturation.

I take a significant number of Tulip photographs ( all one day of a festival). I then work on them throughout the year. They seem popular. I like the ability to work with multiple elements in a photo and highlight a specific subject. Fun to work with, a delight for the eye.
A Floral Arrangement (Two Photographs)

I took these in a wild garden, the flowers are not curated or gardened. The bouquet is natural. I liked how the flowers were positioned as well as the lighting, just a touch macabre in black and white.
