Looks a little like an infrared shot, a little like a solarized print, and a little like a negative.
Anyway, the tonality is very strong, and it works to make the composition extra effective.
I like the kind of echo effect of the two primary blooms, and all of the lines are really well positioned to move the eye around.
Great stuff!

Thanks Photon, springtime is one of my favorite seasons to get out and enjoy the flowers and wildlife.

Very interesting shot, Norm! There is a lot going on in this shot - perhaps a little too much for a B & W Conversion? No matter - it's quite lovely!

All the best,

Endre
