Roses

Everytime I have seen somebody who has published BW and color version of one photo I couldn't understand how somebody can't decide which version is better. Now I know. I like both of these pictures and each has its own style.
Another picture from the session in the garden of my stepmother in early morning of late summer, early autumn 2007.

Hibiscus

I love this picture. Everytime I look at it I dive slowly into the layers of details and explore more and more details in levels of blur. Picture was created in the garden of my mother-in-law where I was photographing in early morning in late summer 2007. First look was not so interesting but the longer I have this picture the more I like it.

Gerbera

I have taken this picture in early 2006 almost just because of my wife who really loves this flower. Then I have published this picture to my flickr account where it rests till today. Then one of my friends want to see my picture so I pointed him to my Koch Koch set on flickr (as usual) where I store my pictures I like more than the others. In about 5 minutes I have an IM message from him that this picture seems to be quite good and he likes it. So I looked at it more deeply and a little bit longer than at the time I was publishing it and I have found those details which I could not see before. Now (after lot of hearing to podcast and watching videos from RadiantVista) I can finally enjoy(appreciate) this picture.

Overblown

After a longer time I finally managed to get out to take some pictures. Picture taken on the meadow almost behind the city where I have found these overblown "flowers". Looks like coming from autumn directly into winter and forget to wither.

First snow

First snow. I was quite surprised on our road to parents through the whole Czech Republic because there was no snow until we got to the road. Then the whole vicinity was in white. Surprised also because it seems to me it was just two weeks I walked out in the t-shirt and now there is snow.

Picture was taken in the morning when the last pieces of night snow remains in the garden.

Flowers for the bride

Bunch of flowers, which had my wife as the bride on our wedding. Now, the two years old flowers, completely dried, resides as a decoration in our flat.

The picture has been taken for the photofriday.com weekly theme "Worn".

Autumn

Picture taken in the autumn last year when my father-in-law burn leaves in their garden. It was one of the cold autumn mornings, the dogs were running around, wet by the dew.

This photo was left almost precisely for a year on a CD without any notice. Then I tried to experiment with B&W conversion and suddenly this picture got another look.
