I've always liked Queen Anne's lace--there's great structure and a lot of delicacy as you get in close. Plus, there are interesting things to work, image-wise, from buds to spent flowers. I found this flower shortly after it finished blooming and thought B&W immediately. I don't do much in B&W with wildflowers, but I made an exception for this one. I framed it tight to emphasize the intricate structure in the heart of the flower.

Techs: D700, 105mm macro, focus-stacked.

All comments and critiques are welcome.

Stunning composition capturing nature's intricate architecture --- B/W is a perfect choice for the subject. Lot's of possibilities for more dramatic high contrast interpretations too...

Excellent image - love the symmetric, repeating patterns and the B&W conversion.
I picked a opening bud to post before I saw your image...no kidding!

You have shown the lacy patterns well.

Lovely presentation Dave. The texture in these is palpable. Well done and the B&W really gives it that extra study in the texture.
