Most unusual.The stamens look like the elongated arms of a dancer.I see a figure in the middle wearing a mask!Your new lense has done a good job here,nicely sharp.

Beautiful! The black and white works very well here. I really like the flowers to the side--we can see just enough detail and that adds a lot interest. What color was this originally?

Very elegant, both the bloom & the comp. An orchid I presume but nothing like one I've seen before. I agree with the ballet dancer analogy. Looking forward to the color version.

Thank you Lily, this is one of many flowers on a bush, have no idea either what kind it is but they are pretty small, and I was fortunate to isolate this one...thank you dear!!

Superb B & W flower, Linda, and exquisite presentation! It looks like a ballerina seen from above, what a treat! I love the clarity and also the subtle greys of the leaves, so elegant, and so unusual! The curved lines are fantastic, and so are the B & W contrasts. Amazing flower and composition! Congrats on your new lens, too! Hugs, Ina

Would be great to see the color stuff!

Dear Linda, this is indeed a lovely image. Technically perfect and the BW version brings out the "floweriness" so strongly. The title is also very good, indeed the flower looks as if dancing ballett. Congratulations, György

I prefer this over the colored version simply because of how the flora sticks out over the dark backround giving the latter more depth. Composition is complimented with superb contrast & tones, well taken Linda, regards.
