Budding Clematis

At least I think this is going to be a clematis. It was on the same vine as the ones in full bloom. I created this for the macro B&W challenge.

I don't usually like flowers in black and white, but this one really pops in mono. It's like an explosion of white and black fireworks, such a super shape

b&w really works with this image - accentuates that wonderful shape.
