The negative space enhances the devious simplicity and transitional quality of the components of this image. It is truly amazing the amount of detail and depth in this image - the conversion is perfect, nothing is over done or overly strong. An excellent artistic representation of a orchid.

As an advocate of the Aesthetic in photographic imagery, I feel that the qualities of the designated sexual signifier details the devious simplicity of this image. Elegance is not always complex in nature and this image proves it. A very worthy entry into the challenge - I'd like to see this a Top Five. Well done.

The reductive quality of the spatial relationships is very evident in this image - an almost fractal like quality - might almost say Escher in context. The conversion is terrific - nothing over done, whites right on the edge - beautiful image. Well done.

Spatial forms frozen in time is about the only way to describe this - very clever use of standard imagery to make something completely new. Well done.

Wonderfully rich earth tones, beautiful sky, a plethora of shapes and sizes - a top Ten image for sure if not a top Five. Richly detailed, but not overdone in any sense of the word. Well done.

Rather simplistic and overly tall image. The sky doesn't go this image any favors as it is. An improvement might be to crop a 1/3rd off the bottom to give it some pop and detail. Removing the bottom 1/3rd makes it a much better image in my opinion.

The amazing thing about this image is the incredible depth - it's almost like 3D in someways - very difficult to achieve in a black and white conversion. This is a lesson in composition and conversion that one doesn't see often. Beautifully detailed, the blacks, grays and whites are perfect - beautiful imagery. Personally, I'd call this the winner - but it's not up to me. Well done.

Very clever take on the challenge - different and a little outside the box.
