Played with a flower from my daughter's birthday.

As always, comments welcome.

Very nice. The B&W works well with this.

Nice shot but IMO colour with such subjects works better by adding anothe and different emotional layer.

Interesting.

Thanks all.

Actually, not so much. This flower is pale green all across. Pushing the contrast the way I did in the black and white would have made the color version look a little nuclear - I really did try. Just didn't do it for me.

For discussion's sake, here's the color.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't expect mum so green. It's really pale.

Great radial patterns, very well exposed! Good job!

Are you sure that's photography ?

I think in this case B&W was the right choice. Nice and sharp with good contrast and detail.

Much better as monochrome. Well done.
