 I took 6 photographs of this flower & I'm in two minds about entering this as my entry but it follows the rule of thirds best out of all the others. Fingers crossed, I made the right decision.

Photograph taken in B&W setting on my camera. Resized, Levels boosted & unsharp mask. Would loved to have done a bit of spot editing but I cant with basic editing.

Mmm nice. I like how you got the delicate details throughout the flower despite the shallow DOF. This really pops and is one of the best photos in this challenge.

Needs cropping differently, shame that the side of the flower is missing.

Nice dof. You kept the details in the flower petals when it was converted to b/w too. Well done.
