Wow, that effect makes the blossoms look fantastic. My only suggestion is that the background looks somehow grainy... Maybe someone else could give you a better idea of what to do with it. (I wouldn't have ever gotten this far with the photo.) :-) Nice shot.

hey, good composition. the effect does add to it nicely! maybe some color accents would work, but the b/w is neat too...

Muito boa imagem, eu gosto de fotografia em preto e branco(b/w), o efeito ficou ótimo.

I think it's quite an interesting and attractive manipulation - I too wonder how it would look with a touch of color? I feel the background (house siding?) is distracting - as long as you are manipulating anyway, maybe a different background would work better? All in all though, I like it!
