Very enjoyable image, Ned. The conversion was a great idea as B&W suits this well. I find the details in the petals to be spectacular and my only suggestion would be to have included a bit more of the center of the flower in the LLH corner.

Would you mind to describe the lighting for this shot? I see this was a shot in excess of 3 seconds, thus, suspect it to have been shot in a controlled environment.

I did this indoors with just enough natural light to get some sidelighting going on. It was also shot at f/32.

Ned, try a 4x5 crop ratio, I don't think you need as much on top...

Thanks for the comments, and the idea Mark... that sounds like a good one to me...
