The color was what made this flower stand out from the background; I wanted to see what I could do with it in b&w.

Stunning - great job. The lighting is superb, as well as your work on the background. And the flower of course, too. :o)

Looks like you did quite well with it in black and white :) It really stands out from the background, which makes this quite unique because normally it is a darker background with a light standout. This is very striking.

Diminished clarity of the background contributes a good seamless emphasis to this bloom. Enjoy the deep and rich quality of the tonality.

a very interesting study on that flower.
I don't know what the original color was, but it looks good in B&W.
