Nice job obliterating the background. Especially for this particular challenge, the unusual (for flower shots) B&W treatment works well.

wonderful composition and b&w adds some drama, water drops are a nice touch, one of my top picks this time around

This is a nice macro and an interesting choice to use black and white. The background in the lower left corner shows some wierdness on my monitor. I don't really know what to call it; I'm seeing what looks like folds in black velvet. I wasn't totally sure of this central placement and square cropping for the subject.

Nice shot, but I want to see the color! Lilies and iris tend to be brightly colored, so this is a bit like seeing a B&W photo of a rainbow to me.

nice shot, well executed. a bit harshly lit for my taste but excellent technique nonetheless.

Nice monochrome. Very sharp and contrasty.

Good b/w photo for this challenge. Even though I see six petals, they are two different kinds so, technically, two groups of three. Sharp details of the petals and of the water drops. The background has a bit of noise and should have been cloned out. The stalk is fine but there are small white spots around. |
