I like this shot alot. Its very clean and crisp. I like seeing this photo in black and white. It gives a very different feel from color shots. Your experiment seems to have been worth it. Good work!
I like the quality, and clarity. You've taken the shot at an original angle to. Most try straight in front. The only thing that nags at my eyes is the un focussed back ground, it destracts from the beauty!
bloody awesome! you managed to create a soft and harsh contrast... all in the same pic! it's so clear, like the angle you choose too!^^ this is an outsanding piece man! -10
I like this black and white effect as well and have considered it as my next challenge. Maybe see how some of my images turn out with this effect. Running out of ideas as I am kinda tied down, lol.

this is a excellent photo. there isnt a lot of greys and mostly pure black and white and with it being focused so well on the petals it really brings out the detail.
this is definitely one of my faves. magnolias seem somewhat ordinary when youve seen them everyday for your entire life. thanks for helping me to see them with new eyes! bravo!
