 Non-traditional image of echinacea...the black and white conversion was achieved through the use of the gradient mapping feature of Photoshop. I like this image a lot...the b/w treatment strips away the unnecessary color and distraction from the heart of the matter.

Not sure I like the black and white treatment. Maybe a bit more contrast and highlight would have added to the overall feel.

Nice composition with the flower mimicked by the background. Would have also been good for bokeh!

Refreshing to see that a flower can be just as beautiful in B&W as it is in color. Beautiful textures and detail here. Lovely composition.
