White on White

This image is from a series of images I took of a Gerbera Daisy.

The image was shot with a 105mm lens @ f/8, ISO 100, 1.3s, -1.3 EV.

I used NIK software to convert to black and white, masked, the resulted and painted with white.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

I like that we see detail in the flower and yet you have preserved a nice, soft, delicate look, Carol. Also, I think the underneath view of the flower instead of the more conventional top view works very well here.

I like the image and the bottom up view. The one bent petal adds a lot of interest. This also looks like a b&w posterized image. Have you tried that using PS?....guess I just gave myself an assignment.
