I thought it was asparagus at first!

Like the item very much, the starkness of the background doesn't thrill me.

Quite beautiful in its starkness.

I love the conversion as well... you've captured some fine tones, and given the shot an almost "infrared" look. Textures are very lifelike.

I might have pulled back the sharpening a *touch*, myself.. but that's my only piddly complaint.

This is great! The texture is so vivid, I can almost touch it! I really love the whites on the white, and the contrast of the grays and black. I love it!!!

You ARE blessed! About 1/2 of my job at work is photography, and I still don't think I could get away with whipping my camera out at my desk to take challenge photos. It's bad enough that every time anyone so rudely interrupts me, I have DPC up -- COMMENTING lately :) The photos would never fly.

Love the information on what you did with the image. You got some wonderful contrasts in the shot and it is very well composed. Can't see it as a color shot. I think black and white was the best way to edit.
