Up until recently I have been having a really hard time 'seeing' in black and white, but lately I have been working on it and am finally getting the hang of it. When I saw this shot, I didn't see the pastel greens and delicate patterns, but I saw the contrast and texture of the B&W. Five minutes in photoshop converting to B&W, a quick USM and a resize and it was just what I had in mind. I think this is one of the first times that my B&W vision nearly matched the final product.

Love the blurred background. It makes the front leaf much more sharpened.

Silver!!! It's wonderful when the final product actually matches what you saw.
