Hoverfly lunching at the Day Lily Grill!

The colour of the Day Lilies at the moment is almost unreal and takes the focus off the shape and the texture of these blooms, so I've chosen to present this one in B&W

Good choice, I decided on colour and as you said it take the focus off the shape. There are many instances when colour is a distraction.
Well done!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Always a difficult choice, but rewarding!

[Kathy]

The b&w shows off the lovely shape of the lily petals.

[Larry L]

love it!

[Walks @ 7]

Beautiful texture and tone and the little dining hover fly is just a wonderful bonus.

[Graeme Stevens]

Well, if you're going to look at it then it may as well be on black...I guess you should have a fav

[gloria jones]

Nice composition and petal details

[aikiuser (jenn)]

I like this in bw--nice!

[Dawn]

Beautiful

[Debs Stott]

I agree that b&w accentuates the shapes and textures, beautiful.

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful in black and white.

[Margo Sayer]

VML the offset-ness of this and how we can't see the entire bloom, suggesting to me, that there's more I can't see...yet want to. Although this verbiage could be more concisely expressed as 'great POV', it wouldn't be much like me ;-)

[Helen Sanderson]

I like the crop of the lily...great composition

[Merrelyn]

B&w really shows the detail and shape of the petals and stamens.

[haskar]

Well done

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely monochrome.

[Claude Trew]

Beautiful flower and it does look good in Black and White.

[Corne Lourens]

Stunning capture
