Splendid tones, Ken, and a fascinating composition, pulling the eyes this way and that, the leading blooms beautifully separated from the oof ones.

I love the patterns in this image and the BW conversion looks very nice.

Excellent BW photo. I like the change of the light from bright to dark. Very good overall composition and nice BG. Very creative image. Well done Ken.

Beautiful idea, perfectly executed- Great treatment of light, a fine BW processing job, and an excellent composition (the OOF leaves work perfectly on this shot)- My congrats, Fabio

I really like the comp in this image. It is almost abstract. I wish we could see the color in the image.

Hi Ken

This is something special

The detail, light, and B&W monchrome tones are sublime

Almost 3D effect and B&W works well. Leaves resemble springs and give the image a pleasing dynamic quality.
