Outstanding. My top pick of the challenge, and there is some stiff competition in there.

Nice idea, but on my monitor, the flowers appear to be a little bit blown out.

Fabulous shot, what can I say? I really love the contrast between the bright flowers and the greyscale of the rest of the picture

Nice, like the desat on the flowers, just a hint of color is nice with the b/w

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I like the fact that you left the yellow and the green. The fence in the background is a little distracting.

while there are far toomany selective de-sats in thei challenge, this has a sweet wistfullness that sets it apart, nice grain and tone. i still think I would have liked it better in fll color. The texture on the monument is special

Nice range of black and white tones and a good composition. A little tightly cropped in the bottom right corner in my opinion, but still a good photo.
