I love the texture and use of source.

Looks good...a touch of color would make it better.

Quite ok. I do think that if you'd flip the flower (not the stem) horizontally the flower will match even better with the lightsource. Good luck!

One of the best I've seen. Nice imagination author. GL to you

Fantastic!!

Great !

I like the feel of this one. Good luck.

you have a gr8 touch in making photos , gr8 job

Sweet! Cool idea!

Great image...very well done. I have to agree with CYMK46 on the color issue. I feel like adding a touch of the blue (accent) to it would tie it to the original image. Create more of a "WOW" factor. As it is its great but I feel like adding the color makes it great for this contest. JMO...again good job author

gr8 manipulation, good luck author

Perfect Black and White

Amazing!

Excellent composition! A Beaut!

Great job.. i would've added a shadow between the stem and the flower, and like PhilNit says, a touch of blue would've made this image really stand out.

I love how you have used the source author. my fav in this entry would be a toss up between the flower and butterfly.. OH WELL i will just have to like both . GL

Beautiful! And the butterfly is so cute

great job

very good

love the flower stucture.the center of flower looks like swans. so pretty.

I see three swans- both flower petals and the left hand side leaf

very nice

Pretty nice result and colors. In fact I'm curious how you got to this flower shape in the first place (is not very clear in the SBS). Good luck!
