I was futzing (sp?) around with my camera on Sunday working on using different focusing points... I'm not a big flower photography person, but I thought this was quite nice...
THANKS for all the comments lately, much appreciated!!

Gorgeous shot. The b&w was an excellent choice.

I'm not really a flower photo person either, but I like this black and white conversion. Since flower pics are frequently in color, this is a refreshing change. I would have increased the DOF a bit with a smaller aperture. My eye keeps searching for something sharp to focus on, but then, that might be the point.

@Russ: RD, you got it right - I was laying underneath the flowers, trying to blur everything but a petal or two - going for that "is it a Lens Baby or not" kind of look!
excellent composition and tonal range

Quite nice???? That's a fairly innocuous adjective for a truly incredible image. Betsy, this is a stunning image!!

I agree with Russ' comments. The composition is very nice, as is the light.
