A rose is a rose...even in black and white!

Ok...so I had to convert this one to black/white. But it worked..."Honorable Mention" at the state fair. I'll take it (since I didn't think much of the photo initially). Just wanted to share.

Beautiful! Looks like a charcoal drawing ~ nicely done! What did you do to get this result?

Thank you. Starting with a clear image, I used PhotoShop to convert it to b/w by removing the color then ever so gently enhancing the contrast. That was it.

It works for me. B&W's strongest point is showing texture and contrast. You've done well in both arenas here. I like the composition as well.

Thank you Bob. I've been reading a lot of the posts you've made and value the opinions you posted.

It can be tough when the opinions are not as kind. I try not to just say that I like a photo(s) but why I think they're good. That way the photographer posting knows the direction they are going works.

Gorgeous and CONGRATULATIONS! :)
(I have a very similar rose photo that I'm especially proud of, but it would kill me to convert a rose to b & w.
I guess that's the only way I'll develop an eye for which photos do well that way and which don't, though.
Thank goodness, editing is not permanent unless intended to be!)
