This is gorgeous with the light background and the dark grass and flowers. Nice to have a subject on the kitchen counter and you've turned it into a piece of art!
Whilst I don't know what these grasses are called, they're most attractive and I suspect they might be fully paid up members of the Weed Clan. They look particularly majestic in mono and from this POV.
The click on black is definitely rewarding! I have forgotten the beauty of the every day, shots like this are a lesson to me that beauty is everywhere!
