Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Vtruan...
This is a nicely executed black and white. The choice for black and white really brings out the texture and shape in this subject. I think most of the comments you have received here about sum it up though.. For a 'Horticulture' magazine cover, I struggle with the concept of black and white. For a fine art magazine of some sort, this shot works nicely :) Some of the absolute best flower photos I have ever seen have been done in black and white. I think you simply introduced an opportunity for critique with the combination of the photo and the title.
Keep up the great work :)
John Setzler

| This is a nicely composed & lit shot with great clarity, but I think the B&W would work against you in a horticulture magazine. |

| I think the one in color would be more appealing. However, I like the smooth texture here. |

| Black and White not the best selection for a front page shot of a floral magazine, no? Apart from that I like it. Good job with properly lighting your subject and slightly off center composition works well. |

| I don't think many magazine covers would be black and white. |

| It's a good shot with nice details on the petals and stamen. Could have done with a little more contrast as a black and white image. Like I said, it's a good shot, but I think for a flower to be able to carry off black and white, especially for a magazine cover, it needs to be absolutely stunning. Black and white flowers tend to be classy and/or moody, and I would expect a lot more vibrant color from a magazine cover. As a side note, I'm not voting you down for it at all, it's merely an observation. |

| This is a wonderful flower photo, the focus is great. I think it would be nicer in color. I don't remember ever seeing a black and white flower on the front of a gardening magazine as one of the main things in flower gardening is color. |

| I'm curious as to why you chose to go with B&W? I think this would have been really beautiful in color. 7 |

| I would have let the color come through on this shot - that is part of what makes a flower so beautiful, even a white flower. |

| Really nice light and feel and an excellent photo, although for a magazine cover colour would sell better I think |

| Nice shot. Lighting is original, but also a little odd. Photo seems a bit noisy. Like the composition and how the flower jumps out at you. |
