This one came off a series of test shots I did of a very nice rose. To get this look, I only kept the red channel and curved it a bit to get better contrast. Hope you guys like it!

Silky looking...and I can't help but wonder how beautiful it is in color, though I do like this tone!

I really like this one. Roses look so great in B&W. All the textures come forth when the colors are not distracting. I'll make a mental note on that method too... ;) Besides that I just love the placement of the subject in the composition and the lighting leaves nothing more to wish for. Solid work. :)

Wow, that's a classic! I really like what you did here. You show complete control over the composition, the light and the contrast. But above all, it's just a pleasure to look at this awe inspiring piece of art!
Kudos,
