You did a fine job Sandi.
The silky silvery sheen of the petals is beautiful and I like the way the front petal is coyly hiding he centre of the flower :)

The silky look that comes from the petals is wonderful - a very good entry.

For only using PhotoFiltre and Topaz Adjust 5, this is spectacular. I wish I could watch you at work to see what your experimentation process is like. Stunning work. The textures on the flower petals are creamy like fabric. Nice use of B/W in a flower shot.

At my own opinion, using B&W is not very interesting when you capture a flower. Even if you caught beautiful textures, I think that the color is the most important attribute for this kind of subject. Also, I think that centering the flower is a little bit too classical. Hope it helps...
