It is a lovely photo.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

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.

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!!).

Tracey from White Hall, United States

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

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

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

Wow oh wow. The DOF is brilliant. The black and white treatment adds dramatic elegance. I gasped when I saw this- so good.
