Flower VII

Converted to black & white for your enjoyment.

Very good contrast and tone, nice work converting to B&W. What technique are you using to convert color into B&W?

I convert to greyscale, add a dodge layer and adjust, add a warm light layer and adjust, and then use curves to adjust the blacks.

Very elegant, delicate.

Howard, I like this image very much for it's Japanese touch and play of light and shade. Your choice of tone is admirable.

Good B&W work. I like the curves in the light. Very appealing.

Superior B/W. perfecta luz y encuadre, saludos Howard-

Those curvy bits are making this a great success in b&w. Nice lines and lighting.

Howard, nice composition and lighting. I think that the highlight detail can be retained if you were to convert to B&W by converting each R,G, and B channel separately and blend them in together, layer by layer as you see fit. Just a different route. Still, this is very pleasing. ^_^

Sorry I missed this one when you first posted it. I like it a lot ... the B&W works well, as do the lines created by the shoots of the plant. Nice work, Howard!
