I shot this in the gardens at Biltmore. I wrote about my visit to Biltmore here (in case you want more info):

This was a color shot that I converted to black and white. I haven't had much success with B&W conversion previously, but I quite like the results here.

I think that the gray background of the site negatively affects this photo. Try right-clicking it and selecting 'View Image' (in firefox, IE is probably similar). This should open it in a window with a white background. I think it looks a lot better that way.

I posted a blog entry about these two photos here:

Nevermind. I changed the site's background to white.
