Strange little puff of flowers...Related content

I failed to add that the white border with thin black outline really adds to the picture, as well.

Awesome. I like the pattern and texture a lot. The crop is good, too. Seriously, I think it would look plain boring if it was centred
What more.... I think the desaturation works well. Colour would probably draw attention from the pattern, texture and form. Among all your pics, this is definitely in the top 5 (for me)

crop and the object choice is perfect, but I guess that lof depth of field doesn't quite work here 
and despite my complaints, very well done

I like this. It's really well composed and I think the tones suit perfectly. It seems, the depth of field is slightly shallow...for me at least. This might have given a sharper feel to the detail. But I just am really in admiration of this type of photography because I am don't do it myself.

Thank you. Yes, it did have a very shallow dof.

Its definitely not a cactus. It had a very long stem, grass like leaves, and this strange ball of flowers. They looked like spikes.

Sorry for my bad english. It looks like a cactus, but it is definetly not a cactus.

Thank you. Its quite strange, because this is the first time i've really done black and white (okay, almost black and white!)

Like the abstract feeling of this picture very much. Very interesting use of cropping.

Excellent marco, the focus is perfect! The colors are quite interesting, and I don't know what that is... Looks good

Wow... this is an amazing shot. The composition, the use of black/white photography, the white background... lovely!

Great macro there ,
its true though , why go black and white when you can just photo shop it
eventhough on the other hand
....i still do develop black and white....
ummmm.... yeah
good pic bye the way

LOL. I never use the black and white mode on my camera, just because (as a friend found out) you can make a color photo into a black and white one, but its harder to put the color in!

wow, im a sucker for good black and white photography and that is some damn good black and white!

Thanks. Although its actually a desaturation... not quite black and white.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh... (feels sheepish)... still, it demonstrates ideals of black and white photography very well which is why i dig it.

*grins* i believe you.. its just so weird to imagine that a flower made me think of a porcupine.

impressive
Very few black and white pics of flowers manage to catch my glimpse since flower's best feature is colour...
but there is that rare pic, which is more of an abstract shape mind-bugger
it is nice, really , thank you for posting it

Thank you. I was going to post it cropped to the whole flower head, but i've been reading so many photography books which are all saying "THE GOLDEN RULE OF THIRDS!!!", so I thought I wouldnt center it... its not quite a third, but.. *shrugs*

This is such a gorgeous photo and that looks like such a lovely photo to capture in a photo.

Thank you. I dont normally like use such a low saturation of colour (very-nearly black and white), but this photo just really wanted it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that is amazing colour, and its so sharp, this is a lovely capture
keep up the greta work!!

Thank you!
The secret to the sharpness, is that my camera takes photos at 3000 x 2000 pixels (thereabouts), and when resized to appropriate DA viewing size, the noise, grain... it all disappears!

ill remember that, not that my camera can take that size but yeah, on full size
