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

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

nicely composed and the B&W contrast of foreground/background works really well.

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.

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 !
