Valley of the Lillies in B&W

[JimFox]

This is the little valley in Garapata State Beach in California. This time in B&W and then also more depth of field in it.

All comments are welcome,

I like this version better since the dead leaves on some of the lilies doesn't really jump out as much.

Thanks Alan. Yeah, the B&W hides that. Also there is dirt path on the right that in color to me jumped out because it was brown vs green. But in the B&W it hides the dirt so I didn't have to crop in quite so tight on the sides.

Thanks Ben! I will have to post the color version of this sometime.

Great shot. Lots of depth here. I stumbled upon this same spot with a friend a few years on our way to Big Sur. What I noticed most of all was how silent it was there, despite several other photographers doing their thing.
