I shot this image a couple of summers ago at my local conservatory. I converted it in SEP2 and was going for a bit of a sketch quality.

Very beautiful David! I really like how the petals flow out and sort of disappear at the edges. Well done!

Hi David. This is really nice! Love the dahlia! Normally, I'm not a huge fan of B&W, but this is exquisite!

Greyscale is an interesting effect with flowers. Emphasizes their form and texture. Maybe could use some kind of frame, vignette or contrast too.

David, this is one of the best B&W flora (being a colour guy you know) images I've seen IMFO..i

Excellent and yes, it looks like a sketch to me. I really like the lighter vignette on this, too!

Beautiful details. I'd say it's a remarkable b&w image but it's actually more of a white-on-white. I find myself holding my breath when I look at it.

Beautiful David, this does look like a hand sketched drawing. Nice effect and a wonderful subject for this treatment.
