Very interesting the way the darker tones come through as black. I don't object to that.
Your question about the pollen is right. It shows up more in the mono than in the color and does distract.
I tried a conversion with one of my pre-sets. It did not get rid of the pollen, but I find the tones more gentle. What do you think? |

So many good suggestions. I like the rippling roots idea. |

Yes, also a good idea. Thanks. I may have a chance to go back, as it is a neighborhood near me, where I drive from time to time. |

Sure looks like it to me, but what do I know? I don't do competitions. Here is the definition of "Street Scenes" from the guidelines in these very DD groups we are in right now:
any image that can be a type of photojournalism: people caught in action, unusual street signs, etc. As this is not a competition, manipulated images that are not allowed in the PJ Division of PSA may be presented in this group. |

I love that our discussions are often broader that just discussing the images.
I agree with Som. I too prefer the color version. But that said, I think you worked carefully with the conversion and it looks great. I liked your point about positioning the light so that some blossoms would not shadow others. Something for me to remember. |

Such a serious face you caught on that young woman. She is really intensely into her part.
I find the vignette a bit too strong. How about a border like Wes often uses? |

You were fortunate, and had a good eye open, to catch these three kids, each one with a different pose: one smiling at you, one looking at a toy or object, and the third staring off into the distance. All in a row by height. I like the conversion to monochrome because that orange shirt on the little one is a bit too eye-catching. |

I agree with everything so far. The one central flower in sharp focus would look great alone. I don't do focus stacking, but everyone talks about it, and it sounds like a good idea to me.
I rarely use a tripod, and I really should, as everyone who does gets better shots with one. |

Yes, I agree. Although I liked the tree, and others on that lane like it, I did not like my result. |

Yes, this is very minimalist, and well done. Good to get rid of the extra tracks in your original, as well as perhaps getting rid of the platform edge in the version Diana suggested.
I personally like the idea of a smaller aperture for more depth of field, but I also like your blurred version as it.
I am a wonk about converging lines, and I really like your concept here, so this is an opportunity for me to make a comment I have made before. No one minds converging lines like this in the horizontal plane, so no one should object to them in the vertical, as in tall building lines converging. Most of the time, I prefer vertical parallel lines to converge, as in soaring skyscrapers. |

Thanks, Som, that's a really good idea. I am going by that tree in two days, and I will try again. |

Thank you, Wes, that makes sense. |
