    I used Silver Efex 2 after tweaking the detail in the color image and darkening the background.

    Hi Judy, I like this one. I might try to blend a bit more of the background at the bottom but this has plenty of detail and it's a great look. Nicely done.

    Nice B&W rendering. Good tonality.

    Very nice in B&W. I really like things in B&W. Wonderful!

    Hi Judy,
    Very elegant presentation in the b/w conversion. I like the tonality and the details in the petals. The flower stands out nicely as presented but I would probably darken the b/g a tad more if it were mine, in order for it to pop out even further. The droplets of water on the petals is a real bonus too! Nice one.

    Hi Judy,

    This image works out very nicely as a B&W; great detail, nicely composed...as mentioned earlier, I'd like to see the BG, particularly beneath the flower, darkened a bit more...and I might boost the whites just a smidge to give the image the "pop" that Susan mentions...nice capture of a beautiful subject!

    Beautiful composition, Judy. Excellent processing to get the tonal range. Like the subdued light. Nicely done.
