Unusual choice (B&W for a flower) but a very nice one. Sharpen is right.

@Saeed: Thanks !
Gorgeous! Sometimes I prefer black and white to colour and this is proof of it.

@Celialee: Glad you like this one then !
nicely composed and the B&W contrast of foreground/background works really well.

@Chris/Aperture Image: Thanks Chris, I'll always like your enthusiasm ! :-)
Fantastique, this monochrome picture say's more that it would do in color. Very well taken.

B&w makes an odd choice for something that screams out ‘color’ but it reveals the structure and textures in the flower that color tends to obscure.

Never thought it will look this great in b&w!

Le N&B lui va si bien ! On lit mieux les nervures des pétales, on comprend mieux sa fragilité. Très délicat.

cool shot. i like how the pattern of the lines in the flower petals sort of matches the patterns of the lines that are blurred in the background

Pourquoi donc s'obstine-t-on à photographier les fleurs en couleur alors que le NB leur va si bien ! la preuve !
