Glow

These flowers seemed to glow in the late afternoon sun.  I loved that the sun brought out the uniqueness of each individual flower.

Here’s the same photo after I applied a monochrome filter.  I rarely try a monochrome filter on flowers because I think that nature’s color is usually best.  In this case, however, I rather like the result.  I like how you can see the softness of the flower petals and the texture of the stems.  What do you think?
