Nice photo and the treatment looks great in black and white. The bokeh is wonderful.

It is a lovely photo.

Yes, it's very good. Only one flower is in-focus, all the rest is progressively fading into the invisible. And behind that?, asks the image.

Vert nice

Exceptional composition and use of focus. Really outstanding. I particularly like how you use DOF to create an effective backdrop for the flowers.

Great b&w flower - again, I would not have thought to try b&w with colorful flowers (but now I will have to try!!).

I would not have thought to do this in b/w, but it woks well. It somehow makes it more delicate. Beautiful!

Sweet shot Ron!

beautiful-- love the balance of light and shadow

Don't often see florals done in B&W but it works well Ron, nice experiment
13 Apr 2008 11:15am
Everything works well here: the grey tones, the composition and the DOF. Very good job!

Ron this is an exceptional image, the selective focus in monochrome makes this a supreme photo.

The promise of spring... Absolutely beautiful in the b/w, Ron!! Who'da thunk?! Perfect!!

As soft and delicate as a watercolor... All those greys (and the choice of b&w) make it a superbly subtle photograph.

Lovely shot, and so original in bw. Well done.
13 Apr 2008 3:18pm
very nice shot! was it foggy or does it just look like it because of the tones and DOF?
13 Apr 2008 5:12pm
@danthro: Just the DOF making for a soft scene ... it was actually a beautiful sunny day.
I really like your treatment here, excellent image.

This is a nice picture. I like it.

I love the softness of this shot Ron and the clarity of the white flower. Great DOF and it is magnificient in B & W.
Wow oh wow. The DOF is brilliant. The black and white treatment adds dramatic elegance. I gasped when I saw this- so good.

Superb shot! Great use of DoF! Looks beautiful in b/w!
14 Apr 2008 1:54am
cool use of focus...almost painterly
14 Apr 2008 12:00pm
Beautiful composition. Love the soft almost dreamy feel of this. Another beautiful b&w. :)
14 Apr 2008 1:47pm
Good DOF!
15 Apr 2008 3:12pm
Really beautiful and mysterious. I love this shot as well. I think it may be desktop worthy ;)
