tulips

shot with coolpix 5000, converted to grayscale in photoshop

Very nice.. this is a stunning image.

Great tonal range here.

Really picking up the subtleties on the surfaces here.. well done.

 

Would like just a bit more breathing space on the left hand side crop. Maybe just a personal thing... other than that...

 

Found it exceptional. ;-)

nice, but i think it could use a little breathing room too. just my personal preference though.

Except for cropping off the bottom part of the flower and including the tip of the leaf on the right, this is really great. The detail and tone are excellent.

great!!!

Nive macro work. I think that the whites in the image could be a little whiter. Starting to look a little flat.

stunning detail! daniel: who said the tulips were white in the first place? i think a higher contrast on them might make it look artificial

Well composed.

Stunning. Love everything about this photo.

While other look for cropping adjustments I feel the close cropping creates a tension and abstractness to the shot. Leave it alone.

I agree with Mark. There are always ways to improve a shot, even a seemingly perfect one. Whereas there's room for improvement in this image as well, I think it's a very strong shot. It's strong compositionally, I like the tones (it's not flat) and textures. Very good work.

 

I prefer the B&W version of this image. The foliage is not so demanding of attention.I do think that it is cropped a little close. (I rarely criticize for being too close!) Beautiful textures! In B&W you want to reach and touch.
