Frederic Chopin: "Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art."
This statuesque proud flower did not need anything else...
The pure black and white brings out the structure and shape, no?
Mono is all about the light, shapes and the textures.
An image is more an abstraction when not in colour.
Zantedeschia, usually erroneously called Calla or Arum lilies (only when white), they are not a true lily.
It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.
All parts of the plant are toxic!
Monochromatic? Not really he?
All the shades of grey... from a true black to white... as it should be!
I wish you a great day, Magda, (*__*)

Inspired by Maplethorpe, this is a shot that I always wanted to do. This photograph is featuring a withered calla lily.
Calla lily is a species of Zantedeschia (botanical name: Zantedeschia aethiopica), also known as Arum / African / Egyptian / Trumpet lily and Lily of the Nile among others.
Sorry to add another..but I had a blast 2 days in a row in the corner of the Rose Garden where the white Calla's where..everybody who knows me knows that I love these flowers..they are my favorite.. I had Eric's 35-100mm f2.0 lens. That lens brings me to my knees!!! lol! I spent a good 20 minutes or so...making love to these flowers!..I have a ton..of images..this one just caught my eye right now...so thought I would throw it up here. I just know that lens is missing me!! :-D
I know the lighting is harsh on here..but I enjoy the challenge of shooting in the full sun without blowing whites out & I like the shadows on here!.
