hi Jimmy, very nice idea to post this pc in b/w: in my opinion only a bit too dark the flower against the background. anywhere a very good shot! ciao roby
I believe this is called Turk's Head Lily. It is a fine rendering of the detail and tones, with a possible exception of the stamens loaded with pollen. Normally, there would be significant color contrast that would deliniate them from the background, but in B&W that disappears. Perhaps a different method of B&W conversion would retain that contrast. Nicely done.
