Normally I'm not too fond about B&W flowers, but this one is gorgeous! Love the point of view and the contrasts!

Wow...this is excellent. Even better than yesterday's shot. The texture in the petals is outstanding. Although it is a really interesting subject, I really think that your composition really pushes these shots to another level. AWESOME work!

Beautifully monochromatic, and very dramatic!
