superb contrast. the white threads make this - the leaves give it structure. great vision. the messy lower right corner may distract some folks. if so, you might consider cropping to a square.

Very interesting textures in this picture. I like the contrast of the curly with the straight. Good seeing! IMO I probably would have tried to lighten up the straight stems a little more so they would be more noticeable and not be overwhelmed by the light curly stems.

Nicely done Craig, and it works great as a B&W. Love the contrast.

Love the radiating verticals Craig and the white filaments add all kinds of interest and energy. The lower right draws my eye a bit but not enough to crop. Very fine work for my tastes.

The conversion did an excellent job of reducing this to lines and tones. I really like your comp here, too. Strong image.

Craig:
This is a very energetic and the B&W adds drama to an already strong image. Like the curls contrasting with the radiating straight lines.
