Are these coneflowers or helenopsis (maybe?) or something else? Whatever the name, they are bouncing and swaying on the summer breeze. In black and white, they look like dancers twirling their skirts. ☻☺♥

I needed a B&W of flowers for a challenge. Though it would not have been my choice, I was quite surprised at how it came out. It changed the focus from the color to the shape… one can learn! lol Thanks!!

Great creative capture! Yes, they do look a bit like ballerinas, especially as you have chosen black and white to portray them in.
Thanks so much! I needed a B&W image of flowers for a challenge. This was a learning experience for me. ☺
