I believe some time ago I posted a color version of this, and on a whim, I decided to try it in b&w. As it turned out, I like the b&w version better. Keep in mind that my eyes are still screwed up, so things may be under/over sharpened, especially this web version.

Anyway, for what it's worth...

I love this b&w Ryan.... great photo!

I don't remember seeing the color version, Ryan, so I'm not biased by it. I'd have to say that this one stands on its own merits and I like it very much!

Looks fine to me, Ryan. Hope everything's working out with your eyes.

I like it. The sharpening works for me. I'll have to take a look at the color version.

I'd crop out the top third or half, down to where the stamens get slender and smooth. That way they are not competing with the frog for my attention. Additionally, it makes it a bit more abstract and, IMHO, compelling.

I like the B&W, very nice.
