Very crisp shot. I'm not sure that the decision to have it in black and white wasa good one, though. I find it busy and hard to look at - even though the fairly shallow depth of focus theoretically keeps the foreground crisp and background blurry, the values are so close that I find it's not too comfortable to look at, that I have to work a little to pull that information out. It's a tiring image to look at, because I'm not sure what to make of most of it, or where to rest my eyes.
Wow, simply amazing texture here. I love the detail. Black and white is a great choice. Nice sharpness. I keep supressing the urge to reach in and touch the poppy. 8
Stunning picture, but the levels look a bit strange to me. I'd love to have seen the colour original. Colour would also help the background from not blending into the foreground subject in places. I think plenty of dodging and burning is required here... there's plenty of shadow detail in your subject to be rescued, and the background needs to be darker in places.
