More flower photos....

Converted to black and white. Added a lot of contrast, shadow, painted the background black, cloned out a spot that I think was part of the flower, but looked like "dust". Resized and sharpened (a few times) for upload.

Thank you for your comments, critiques, and workshops.

The conversion to BW is superb. Petals and sepals had a great texture. Very good lighting and POV.
Nice presentation.

Hi Lisa

Superb graphism & tonal range, with good sharpness & dof, in this superb b&w floral macro. Good symmetry between the 2 primary flowers. Tfs!

Very striking! It's so unusual to see flowers captured in black and white like this, and it draws attention to details we'd otherwise miss - the textures of the petals, and the shapes of each flower.

In my honest opinion - a little over exposed in some of the lighter areas (loss of detail) and a little over-sharpened on some of the edges (white lines and ghosting.)

Very nice B&W with the high contrast showing texture well...

Interesting and successful experiment Lisa..

Cheers
David
