Sorry, but this is a really odd shot. Not sure what you did to it but there's no contrast and the texture is very unnatural. Good B&W needs a solid range of real white to real black and there's just a lot of gray here.

I have to agree with smalltown, the rose lacks the tonal range to work well in B&W. Just feels flat to me. I like the picture from detail and composition, but the B&W just doesn't make it for me.

That's what I was thinking too . . .somehow the conversion has produced a kind of muddy gray color for the petals.

I agree with those above and also think it seems to be over sharpened.

Nice compostion but it does not work in B&W. Did you use a red filter to get it to look this way?

What they said, B/W just a little too gray. I like the velvetiness of the color shot.
