Flower Photo Competition 4 2018 : Entry Number 101

Judges Comment

Sometimes the I-Shot-It team comes across a black and white flower which is superbly executed. This is a grand example for such flower. The contrast, with shades from white to black, shows that the photographer who is behind this image know his/her trade well.

Photographers Comment

Thank you so much. I’m honored.My name is Chihoko. This lily is orange.When I take pictures of flowers, words are born first.I took away the flower’s color. Because,I know the Orange lily of flower language.In Japan, it’s "Thoughtless" In the West, it’s "Hatred”.But I wanted to consider the reasons leading to it. Therefore, it was necessary to make it black and white.It is one of the reasons why I stick to black and white.Thank you again for choosing. From bottom of my heart.
