Yes they are. Very nice contrast. The only thing I can see that might be distracting to some is the stems in the background. I am familar with this problem mostly, because I wasn't totally successful in making my background "disappear" this week either.

wow.. I love this. I'm also gonna say email me after the contest and tell me how you did the background so dark. I've been trying to figure that trick out.

I'm sure you'll get "but why would you take a b&w shot of a flower" kind of comments (I am for my flower shot). I think if there's contrast and texture in the shot, b&w can work well, your photo is an example of that. I would probably not place the roses in the middle of the shot though, I'd prefer to see them in the bottom right hand side for example. Also, the rose on the left seems slightly blown out - would it have been possible to adjust the lighting for that a little?

Not really, I think B&W makes this subject rather plain. Also, seems a lot like pictures seen in the Transitions challenge.

Neat b&w and a great job. Very painterly cool effect.
