I don't think the B&W works well here, isn't the beauty of the flower especially in its colors ?

Very nice. I believe I would prefer this in color.

too bad about the B&W, I think this would have been better in color.

The black and white seems a little wishy-washy and could probably do with more contrast to really darken the blacks that seem fairly grey to me. The close, full-frame shot is good, but the background still seems to be a major part of the image. The petals also lack a little texture and I'm guessing it was likely slightly overexposed. The soft focus helps make it look more delicate but I think having the middle bits (stamen?) be in focus could help balance it out more.

Might be nice to keep the colors in a flower, I think that's one of the main attraction.

I really like the centered composition! And I must ask, how did you get
the glow effect with the light? It is a wonderful touch 9
