Good tones, well done black and white. I dont like that the flower or blossom is chopped off a little on the left, but other than that its a nice photo!

COOL SHOT, 5/5

very soft flower n___n

Very nice Edite. Sharp with good detial. Perhaps if the flower more more to the right so that there was more space in front of it, it would achieve a better composition. You kinda cropped off a part of the main flower. Maybe a bit dark on the main subject and I think this was caused by the exposure set by the camera due to the bright sky. The background is attracive. It has an abstract sort of look to it. Good choice to use black and white!

Good work Sweetie. I'll buy that microphone one day ... I promise!

Very good use of lighting direction and a good choice of composition. It looks very good in B&W.

Hi Edite, this is really delicate, elegant and lovely. good B&W. Very nice

Very crisp, Edite- you can even see the details in the petals, which I know is all to easy to 'blow out' with a white subject.
I think the previous comments about the picture being a little too dark are correct (don't worry Xris, not your monitor going funny) I think the composition could be improved too if you'd moved a fraction to your left, to get more of the flower and more 'breathing space' in, as the others have mentioned.
However, I think the only thing that's actually bugging me is that the sky is brighter than the subject. I think moving over to capture more of the flower would also get more of that bright sky in, which isn't too good. I'm not sure what other angles would look like, but carefully choosing angles that flatter your subject best is what will help you achieve a truly memorable photo, I believe. ^_^

Keep snapping Edite- good to see you're experimenting with other artforms ^_^

what a wonderful mood...

i like this one a lot.....
so romantic

Very nice composition Edite and a beautiful black and white, well done

i love it!
the border is awesome even the font you used is awesome

Beautiful,but you should try to catch it another day with appropriate weather I think,I'm not aphotographer but as I understand that these are exactly the difficulties that you should to overcome as a photographer.If this shot important to you.
I like the composition here,you can make more from this flower

A wonderful flower indeed!
I don't know about the composition...maybe captured from another angle with the flowers on the right side...
The b&w works very well here! Well done Edite!

~slap

Charming work. The shapes are really gorgeous

Nice shot, I was going to post something similar... maybe I will!

Damn, Belinda already commented on the 'breathing room' and the sky being lighter than the flower....it's kind of distracting. Still to make the flower brighter may wash out all that great detail...

Check out Silence [EDITED] by  eowyn for a way that perhaps you could isolate the flower and push the sky back...or try the Melancholytron Filter by Flaming Pear. Here's a link. http://www.flamingpear.com/melancholytron.html

very good

Beautiful b&w..

THe flower looks a little artificial.. But thats just my taste..

Really nice.. Keep it up!

I disagree completely with those who say this is too dark. The exposure is near perfect with the details in focus against the bright sky. And still you managed to hold the details in the shadows. This is a difficult thing to pull off because this lighting situation can easily fool the camera's built-in light meter. For a shot like this, I would always bracket.

As far as the composition, yes maybe add a little more room on the left. But you do have a nice diagonal composition with light gradually getting darker toward the lower left. If you ask me, I think it's brilliant.

Beatiful!
