Nice in B&W. I love it when photos of flowers look great for their shape and composition, not relying on color alone to get them noticed.

That looks awesome, Laurie. I really like the different shades of B&W :) - Super DOF!

I love the Bradford pears when they have planted a whole street of them and they are all in bloom. Its a beautiful site. This photo is very beautiful as well.

Looks nice in B&W too. Not all flowers need to be shown in color.

I did try a similar shot a few days ago and finally got one I'm happy with. Might go back to the same spot this evening for another try (if the wind ever dies down). Not much more time left before all the blooms are off the trees.

This is a great B&W, I love this kind of flowers and the parfume they spread on the streets.

That is one of the best conversions I've ever seen...

this is really well done! i like the contrast, the black/white balance from bottom to top and the repeated flower motif in the background.
