I am not a great fan of flowers in B&W but your jasmine is quite efective. One of my favorite flowers.; December 28, 2009 at 11:22 AM

When you remove the colors you can see different aspects of the flowers. Some flowers need the color other flowers and compositions blossom in B&W.; December 29, 2009 at 2:05 AM
