I must say, Marcel, this is a wonderful Reflected Light Capture...beautiful! Looks like it's viewed through the eyes of someone given the roses as a gift.

I found this crop gave almost a portrait look with the B&W conversion.

.....creative thinking. That's what it's all about.

I'm getting to like black and white more and more. It's a whole new realm to explore.

I agree, Ted. Color seems such an important part of photographing flowers, and yet doing it in black and white can add a whole other dimension.
