it may be my monitor but i dont find the yellowy-green very flattering. like the crop, how does it look in black & white?

Hi Genese, I really like the shot itself, excellent composition, love the light it has been taken in and DOF. Sorry B&W does not do it for me it loses something.

I really like the colour image but as Lisa says the slight Yellowy-Green colour lets it down somewhat. Have you thought about perhaps changing the colour?

Love the colour one, not keen on the mono chum.

Yep have to agree the colour version is the best.
I love the DOF and the light on the centre stamens really give a soft feel to the flower..i like the yellow/green colour.

I have to say that I find the colour image quite pleasant genese, with it's nice soft muted colours. Just can't understand all of these people who want to go B&W all the time. It's got me!

Cheers

Not too sure myself ... dont mind b&w for some of the moody shots it can work well and quite like it for some portraits! i guess somethings work better in colour and some dont
