Description
How important is colour?Do the daffodils look any less beautiful without their vibrant yellow?
Pondering this I was reminded of a poem by Sylvia Plath and especially the opening lines -
Tulips
The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
As the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands.
I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions...
Admittedly, my pic is of daffodils and not tulips but the sentiment is the same...
Although, at the end of the day, I think I prefer my daffodils yellow!
Full view is recommended to see the water droplets in more detail.
EDIT - October 2008 - changed the frame.

This reminds me of the comment by Orson Welles about B&W being the actor's friend(Welles considered black and white to be "the actor's best friend", feeling that it focused more on the actor's expressions and feelings than on hair, eye or wardrobe color.).
You aren't distracted by color and see the infinite complexity and essential simplicity of these flowers!

So pretty! I'm curious what are the little spots of light to the left?

They are waterdrops but the lighting sort of distorted them.
Thank you!

Lord, this is stunning. The fluted curves of the edges of the petals remind me of balerinas dancing. You've used light beautifully here, it's very impressive.
