2013, Day 32 - Pure

Black and white photography can be magical but often, in my own work, I feel it misses the mark.  Today I was working on this image of a poppy and decided to lose the vibrant color to try to draw the focus to the structure.  Turns out it worked the way I hoped and I am really happy with the results.
