Before I get around to transplanting the bush that bore these blossoms, I thought I would include them in a little still life image. The violin was passed to me by my late Father-in-law, and while I can scratch out a tune on it, I will never be the musician he was. So every once in a while, I include it in my photos when I think they need a touch of elegance, if you will. This was originally shot in colour, which was fine, but I have to say that I much prefer it rendered as a Black & White image. I plan to enlarge it to 20 x 16, and I am hoping that the print will produce the tones I am hoping for. Digital images are great, but somehow I still think that this one would look better if I made a wet print in the darkroom, using chemicals, enlarger and printing paper. Maybe I will get around to that someday.....hope you enjoy! Cheers!
