A color picture sans the color. This is very bleak looking. Learn some post processing techniques to improve the dynamic. If you look at a histogram of this image, and I did, the brightness range is comressed. The lighting is also not right for the kind of shot. Directional light was make this more interesting, here you are shooting into the shadow.

good use of backlighting but it is too powerful and washes out the flowers

On my monitor this looks a little gray. If that was the look you were going for, great...but I'd like to see more contrast of the blacks and whites. But that's just my opinion.

I know titles aren't supposed to count, but something like "Foggy Fields" might help give the grayness more context for a photo like this...This image would probably render beautifully if you ran it through a Photoshop or Painter flter like charcoal, etching, watercolor, etc. (I like "re-purposing" images I like as many ways as I can think of).

A neutral grad may have improved the sky - would have looked great in colour

Comment by jmsetzler:
This photo looks rather bland in black and white because the tulip blooms do not contrast enough with the stems and leaves...

I like the composition of the shot, but there aren't enough different color tones to really make it pop.

The backlighting effect is very interesting, but it does wash out the sky. Perhaps a tighter crop would have improved this photograph.
