I really like the softness and grayness of this - I can almost smell it. I disagree that it needs more contrast - to me it doesn't. That paleness adds to the gentle feel of the shot to me. |

I like the softness of this, but maybe could use just a tad more contrast. I think it's very interesting to take a subject that is normally photographed for it's color, and turn it into a black and white. It makes you look beyond the color to textures, shapes, and other detail that you might normally miss. I like it in black and white. |

I love the diffused glow look in photos. It makes them so soft and pretty. Especially in black and white! Awesome job, Germaine.

It almost has a 3d look to it. I keep wanting the flowers to be a little more crisp. However, the most common comment I get in challenges is, "over sharpened".

This seems a bit flat, maybe a bit more contrast would be helpful. |

It's a beautiful flower. And you've got a great pattern and texture here. I prefer the color versions, but that's just me. It's a shame to erase all that eye-popping color from the original.
A little more contrast would be nice, but I'd be afraid that it would blow out the bright spots in the flowers. Maybe just a darkening of the shadows to get some deeper blacks would be enough. |

I really like how that diffuse glow adds a dreamy effect to this. The bokeh seems to point right to the flower, if that makes sense. Before I read the comment below I also wondered how a bit more contrast would make this look. |
