nice effort with the lighting to exemplify the glow of these beautiful flowers - i wish we had some life around here - no surprise, but I like the color better - better background details

I generally don't get into flower B&W's but this has an interesting strength to it. Nice work.

This is a guy thing so I have no clue what it is lol. I do love how you captured the smooth and shiny metal. Every thing is so crisp and clear - very nice!

I love the tones you have captured here. The black and white accentuated the texture in the blossoms as well.

The shape of the car almost takes on a personality, but the light in the lower right is a bit overprocessed, and your red seems a bit noisy.

I agree about the curves and color. The darkness at the upper right draws my eye away from the them, though. Maybe another light source? I really like the reflection in the ... is that a taillight?

Actually, this looks like a good image for B&W... there is a good range of contrast from white all the way to black.

Well, at first when I looked at the other one, I was going to say, "Hmmm. ..I think this translates to black and white beautifully!" It really is a striking photo with such beautiful contrast. But then when I saw this one. I have to admit to this one with its rich subtle tones of deep greens and fresh yellows. Exquisite! Course. . .even tho I love black and white photography -- sometimes -- I am definitely one that hasn't caught on to the "its gotta be black and white to be artsy and dramatic" craze. I generally do prefer color photos.

Both of them are really lovely!
