I think this would be much stronger without the white in the bottom left

very nice, especially on the part above the center stem thingy. let me guess - about 4 comments so far about the white corner? just had to guess, as i'm getting bored with all this voting.. :P

This is simply lovely. The single saturation of the gold ring is really nice although I'd like it equally as well if all black and white. The texture is excellent. It evokes a sweet nostalgia. Bravo!

I really like this shot. I haven't seen it in color yet, but I can imagine that it definitely is more appropriate in b/w. I agree that the ring distracts from the overall image.

Comment by undieyatch:
Strong background saturation i find attractive it sublimates your field, but with plenty of detail - Your beautiful hydrangea, admitedly under flat light lacks the balanced tonal vitality of the background. Possibly sharpness in the file is partially to blame, but I think you could coax some more dynamic qualities from that bloom.

Using B&W here intensifies the emotional impact. Not too keen on the gold ring though :(
You are right about the sweater muckpond. I might not have noticed that if I hadn't read your post.

This is perfect and what sets this apart, are the central stamen shadows!!
