Monochrome Details from the Garden

Saturday was a day of sunny intervals.  I loved the shapes of the poppy seedhead and the Green Shieldbug but, with the sun out, there was a lot of contrast making straight nature photography difficult as the shadows were difficult to fill even with fill-in flash. I decided to try a monochrome version and liked it so much a few others followed! These are done in the Raw converter only - I will redo in Silver Efex. When the sun was behind a cloud,  the softer light on the poppy and bug gave lovely subtle colours.
