Mono Beauty

by LennyBloke

A single headed rose after todays downpour shot with the SMC Pentax A* 135mm f1.8 and a 36mm extension tube on the K1 Mkii - converting to monochrome enhances the delicate detail in the petals, reduction of highlights and shadows give a deeper look to the image.

An auto extension tube on a high quality prime lens can almost rival a good Macro lens sometimes
