The World of XPILAR - B&W PHOTOGRAPHY - CONTEST | WEEK #120 | Daylily orange

I am not a professional photographer and do not have professional photographic equipment, and therefore I cannot cope with the high-quality transmission of all the difficulties of the orange color of this Daylily yet. There are too many shades and there is no other color except orange in this flower. In color photography, the structure of a flower loses all the nuances of its beautiful shape, but when switching to monochrome mode, it manifests itself. It is enough to abandon the color and the architecture of the flower becomes clear.

Processing these frames, I realized that desaturating in the photo editor does not provide the result that shooting in black-and-white mode with manual adjustment gives. It will still be possible to do it right, because now is the time of Daylilies and they will bloom for a long time.

Since this flower is not white, I did not achieve strong contrasts in order to preserve the idea that this Daylily has some color, and what it is in reality, it remains to be guessed. Although, looking at black-and-white photos, I don't want to think about it anymore.
