Looks great in b&w! the standard coloured image could have had multiple colours, and would not have been as charming and effective as in b&w..well done!
This is a wonderful b&w. There's a lot going on but my eye is drawn right to the sun flare, then the wonderful way you've used lighting to highlight specific parts of the flower box.
@epcello It does take a while to find your way round this site, it took me ages. If you click on 'discuss' at the top of your page and then scroll down to 'themes and competitions' you will find most of the theme ideas. also if you click on blog you will find the winners etc of the themes too.
