Very soft and seductive.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

An unusually good piece, I would call this "Fine Art"....Jim

Very mellow and almost prayerful.

Great capture,love the tones on this.Very nice dof.Congrats.

good shot

This looks exceptionally good in black and white Hanna. Absolutely beautiful. 7/7

great image with just the right balance for depth of field.

Hanna this is just wonderful. Your tones are rich and very pleasing. I like your choice of DOF.

So subtle, so beautiful. Wonderful shot made with superb choices.

Thankyou all so much for your positive comments. I suspect people are somewhat hesitant to leave positive criticism too, but I can take it, so feel free to say it all.

B&W works for flowers, too, especially when they have strong shapes like this.

Hanna, this is an exquisite image... I love everything in this image. Composition, tonality, DOF, shutter speed.... they all work together to make a masterpiece. Hearty 7/7 from me!

I'm not usually a fan of b&w flowers as they seem to lose more than they gain. This one though is the exception as you have caught the shapes so well then used B&W to emphasise them

The flower looks as if huged by the leaves. very soft and delicate composition.
