I took this today, I loved the small imperfections in the flower, such as the curved petals and the rippling on some of the larger petals. Just for the hell of it I converted to B&W and now I can't tell which I prefer. I would be interested to know which of the two other people prefer! Have at!

B&W. I find the texture more interesting than the color. I think you could pull the whites up just a tad to make it pop more.

I like flowers in color, but this crop doesn't work, just me.
