Quite succulent...

Succulents on the back patio, and a dandelion seed head from the yard using the Sigma 105mm macro without the x1.4 extender. I think the dandelion looks better without the extender on the lens. These were done with the Godox flash and f/14 aperture. And as a bonus, a pink geranium.

The Dandilion heads are spot on. Not so sure of the B+W one. I'm generally a fan of nature in it's full vibrance.

Really like the first and third but not keen on the mono version.

Thank you! I am as well, but not beyond experimenting. I think I need to work more on PP on the B&W.

Thank you! I'm trying to accent the shapes on the mono, but it is lacking.

I think there are subjects better suited to mono conversions. Just my opinion like
