This calla lilly is growing in my terrace in Quito (Ecuador).

 

I took this picture with my Nikon D700 and the Elmarit R 90mm, at f/2.8.

 

The color version of the Raw file is developped in Aperture 3 (3.4.5 version).

 

The B&N with the Silver Efex Pro2 plug-in.

 

Which one do you prefer?

 

All comments are welcome.

 

Thank you.

Lovely shot Francois, both of them. 

 

I like the colour version because the gradient of the yellow/green in the lily itself is striking and luminous. It looks quite 3D. 

 

Although I also like how monochrome levels the background- whereas you are drawn to the reddish/orange in the colour version. 

 

I think I would pick colour if I had to choose! :)

As is, I also prefer the color version. However, if the entire background was black, as it is in the shadow area in the right third of the frame, then I'd prefer the b&w version because I think it would be much more dramatic.

Hi Francois. Nice images, why choose, both versions are terrific. Looking forward to more of your terrace flowers, hope the weather gets better soon.
