Black and white flower

[MarkR]

Playing w/ black and white conversion of a flower because I wasn't satisfied with the color version. C&C appreciated.

EDIT: whoops! almost deleted the original after posting the edited version.

I do like this. I would like to see the bright spot at the bottom right ( flower pedal ? ) cloned out. Having the background shown partially as bark and partially as just a black space is somewhat unbalanced to my eye.
