The lighting and lack of color makes this common flower very uncommon and dramatic. It looks a little incomplete. That might be improved with just a tad of light on the right.

I like this shot, but I have to think I would have scored this shot higher if it were not monochrome.

well......as many flowers as I have photographed I've never applied a black & white effect----now I wish I had! I really like this.....I know many people on this site complain about flower ( and cat) photos, so you have turned the tables and made a rather mundane subject different and exciting. Of course, I have never been one of those who shunned flower or cat photos....haha....I give this a 10 in my eyes!

I'm surprised this wasn't more popular with other voters, since I like it so much... I think it's stunning.

Excellent focal point with a very shallow depth of field

Really like the background color you chose. It really adds to what could be a not so interesting subject. But it really makes the picture pop. Very nice DOF as well.
