That one green leaf sticking out just doesn't do it for me. Either the flower alone in color, or add some more green around it.

Personally, I'd get rid of the green leaf, leave it black/white and just have the flower in full color.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I agree too that the green leaf should go. great shot.

I've been taking a lot of similar pictures of summer flowers in my garden recently but without the B/W effect. I think a slightly deeper depth of field would be more enticing to the eye, so that you've got crisper focus into the middle of the flower as well as on the outer petals.
Also, rather than a grey background, I think it'd be more striking if it was just darkened out. Then the green leaf would work better as well?

Hmm, just curious. Why did you name your post "Sharon"?

I like the pic.
