Dogwood Branch
Posted by Dulcie (Danville, CA, United States) on 16 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Homage to http://ordinaryimages.aminus3.com. Jerry, thank you for your feedback and inspiration.
I found this dogwood in a garden in Walnut Creek, CA. This is a first for me. We don't see much of that plant here, but I learned to love them during my childhood in Longiview, Washington.
Your critique of my photos is most appreciated. . . . .

I absolutely love dogwoods. Especially near easter. Tell me you found these near Danville, please. I live in the bay area and miss these gems that grew wild in the woods of Tennessee where I grew up. Great composition and anchoring the stem in the corner. Absolutely Love This!

@BoB: This was really an experiment for me. Black and white is not as easy as it looks.....so, I will continue to challenge myself. Thanks for your comment.

Nicely done Dulcie - the color tones in the dogwood "flowers" render well in B&W.
