:lol: Nice 'orchids'

(Looks great in b/w)

[Chris of Arabia]

Not quite what you were expecting then?

On advice of counsel I'm instructed not to answer that http://kolobok.us/smiles/artists/connie/connie_girl_cleanglasses.gif

as a matter of fact, yes.

He was infamous for some things, but shot flowers to start his day.

That's really terrific.

Monochrome seems to add to the elegance of the flowers - I will have to experiment with some of my images. As always, one learns something from visiting the forums.

Mapplethorpe's flower photography (http://www.darjanpanic.com/photography/masters-of-photography/robert-mapplethorpe-and-his-flower-art-photography/) is indeed lovely, as is Chris's b/w orchid picture

Very nice!

You did good! Very good! Normally I don't care for flowers in B&W, but this took my breath away. It's beautiful. No, elegant, simply elegant.

Beautiful Chris.
