This is the second in a series of three photos in which I explore different treatments for the same photo of yellow flowers. (Click here for the first photo, a desaturated color version.)

Processing: I did very little to this photo – mostly adjusted curves and applied a black-and-white treatment.

We’ve been away from home for a few days, visiting my husband’s family. A visit to a local butterfly garden yielded this gorgeous monarch. I was loving the textures and patterns so much, I converted it to black and white in order to show them off better.
