Crying Pansy
My first entry, I have taken a lot of picks already, and the results are quite stunning in B&W, great challenge I am having fun and learning many little things

 

[ShootingStar]

From the first page just to provide you the clarification.

Thank you for kindly pointing out the "anything goes" clause in the assignment description. I know I read that, and read it on the previous assignments this year too, but somehow it didn't click for me on this one, probably because of the B&W feature of this assignment.

I purchased my D5200 on Saturday, and while I was perusing the manual (after posting my question) I saw the selective color effect. This assignment will be perfect to try that out.

 

[ShootingStar]

You left out this part from page 1 also

They must be in black and white but can also be selectively colored, if you so desire.

​

Marilynne, I went back to see who posted the lovely picture with the bits of yellow in the flowers, and wasn't surprised to find that it was from you.
