 For the last few days I've wanted to take a picture of these flowers, which are much smaller than this looks.

I originally used a watercolor filter, and then took it into Nik Efex which defaults to B&W. I was hooked right there. Add some curves and dodge/burn and just the normal cropping and resizing after that.

Nice processing. I like seeing flowers from the back side from time to time.

I totally thought it looked like a BW watercolor, so your technique worked great!!

Yes, now that I like. As I said somewhere early today I'm not normally a fan of flowers, but this has a nice almost surreal effect. Would make a great large poster.....

Looks like a white carnation. I enjoy your capture of the special relationship flowers have with light. The effect you used enhances this quality beautifully. Well done.
