The shape of the petals is awesome. and the center looks like a sandworm.
I love how much detail you see in black and white photos of things that are normally done in color–like flowers. It’s like every petal has it’s own personality and shape. Very nice.
Stunning. Using B&W was a great idea. It seems to distill the form of the flower.
Wow! Great picture!
That’s a great composition and shot. Something quite unique I think.
Grace and perfection are the first words that come to mind…….wonderful!
Great entry in the photofriday challenge. The lighting and monochromatic tones gives the flower a soft glow.
dhalias are amazing flowers in color but sure do look great in b&w, did something like this a while ago and was also surprised by how good it turned out :-)
