    You are exactly right about flowers in B&W. I find them to be more visually interesting. Thanks for your comments!

    Very cool! I usually stick to color for my floral macros, but monochrome works very well here.

    I don't think I've seen a flower like this in B & W, but it really works here. The detail in the center is hypnotizing...
