Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 8 May 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
Our Jasmine is in full bloom and its fragrance is DIVINE. Here is a photo from the archives, this is the first of four in black and white, after a lot of red.

Lovely shot Judy. I would probably keel over with a headache from the wonderful aroma of the jasmine. Allergies, yuck. Very pretty.

@Marion: You are probably correct ........ it's a very heady fragrance, but WE LOVE IT!

Very stylish and elegant rendition in B&W! I like the reflection! And the winding movement!

@Japanalia: It was some playful entertainment doing the post-processing. I liked the final effect too.

really interesting composition here; the reflections are nice, unique touch which sets it apart from a 'typical' flower composition; The black and white treatment also ties the elements in the image together well; great shot

@Aidan Hammond: A little playful fun ... reflection and then the straight line added to add the illusion of a mirror.
Thank you for your comment, Aidan.

A wonderful b&w image Judy, I wish I could smell it's fragrance too. :)

@MaryB: Oh, Mary, the fragrance is absolutely heavenly. Because we've had no rain, which we desperately need, the blossoms have lasted nearly four weeks!
