This is one flower photo that does look good in black and white because there is enough texture to pull it off. Well done.

I love the delicate/pristine feel to this photo. You've done a good job of capturing the various shapes and textures.

Very nice tonal range. The light in front of and behing the flower is a bit of a negative, IMO. There's enough going on in the flower to not need the stem and leaf bits.

Very, very nice use of black and white to bring out the exotic curves and undulations of this flower. Faultless, to me :) 10!

Good lighting with contrasts, detail, almost transparency. Good work with a flower, usually more suitable for color.

Much of the image is dark and no visible, I would try lightening it up or cropping it out. I think there's too much of a shadow inside your subject (flower) as well.

I wish a little more light had fallen on the tulip, then it would be perfect. -Annida
