99% of the time, flowers and things like this are better in color no? Could be me, but the black and white doesnt do anything for me in this case.

The first two have some good tonal contrast that works in bw, especially the first (second has a depth-of-field problem). The backgrounds are a little distracting - the first would be much more effective with the background more muted. The contrast within the flower could also use a little boost - brighter highlights and more separation in the tones on the petals, and slightly darker petals overall. You don't want to make it too unnatural, just a slight increase.

Flowers are beautiful for their colors.... but i like these also because now i can focus more on their textures, tones and patterns.... I really liked #1 and #2

#4 looks so arid
