Contrast - empty space - blurriness

This picture was taken 2019 in a rose garden.

Today I flipped through old picture to find pictures with high contrast. Almost all pictures look great in black and white when there is contrast. Blurriness and sharpness add something interesting to any picture, especially to black and white ones. If color is missing other visual tools become more important.

One of my fav tools is empty space. Everything is so crowded today. Empty space is true luxury. It gives time to relax. It makes the subject matter stand out.

Editing pictures is a long or shorter process. At the end I’m always surprised about the result.
