Interesting. I would love to see the color for comparison.

Well done, Dan. I like B&W floral, so I like what you did here. Excellent comp and overall conversion. My only minor nit is that the anthers are very bright and blend into the bg. Maybe selectively darken them, if possible?

Great idea and a different image, Dan. I prefer the color version, just personal taste. I like the light and the three dimensional look in the original photo.

Dan: Really good idea and execution. I might like a touch more contrast and/or a brighter BG but this looks good. Nice work on the color as well. >=))>
