Description
I'm thinking about entering this picture into a contest in my camera club. What do you think? Does it work as good as I think it does in B/W or is the version in color [link] better?There is no theme to the contest.

Nice tone and composition but the flower in front needs to be in focus too.

Cool. Nice perspective and blurring.
I do shots of flowers and plants too. Check out my gallery.

I really like this in b&w, it gives it just the right feeling. And I love the focus you've got, too, with the soft at the front and the sharpness further back, it's unusual and it works so well.

B/W definately - i love them both but this is my favourite!

Very nice picture - no, stunning picture - go ahead and enter it. I hope you win.

Hmmm, well, tough decision. I think the b&w is slightly better. But both of them are really pretty, so it doesn't matter that much.

I think I prefer the color, but this one is just as great!

I was going to say that I like the color one better, but then when I compared them both next to each other, I do like the b&w one better- it looks more artistic.
I love this photo. that front daisy looks like it's trying to hog the picture.

you know... i love when you photograph some daisy.... it's so beautiful flower... *^^*
and moreover my name is daisy in french 'marguerite'... hum ...
and to finish your pictures looks so beautiful ^^

Oh, I don't know! They are both so beautiful!

I think that when we use b/w effect on regular flowers it makes them look special, right?

Nicely done! I know how hard B/W is but you did a GREAT job!

I think I like this one best. However, it might add interest if you were to lightly tint the petals in some pale yellow or purple or blue... green... red... Yeah, I think I would prolly tint it. And then if you didn't like the outcome submit it as is right now.

I think it's much better as B&W! It's more interesting that way.

wonderfully simple. the tones are great, too.

B&W version is a bit more interesting I feel
go with that one!

I really like this, the greyscale one. If it was me though, I would have had the focus on the flower in the foreground. But, art is expressing yourself, so I think this is great the way you have it.
If you do decide to enter the colored one, I'd alter the color a little bit (like use the burn took with exposure at 13% if you had Adobe Photoshop).

I don't like that "focus in front, blurr to the back" rule 
I'm gonna go with the b/w one, the colors really doesn't do anything for the image I want to show off.

I rather like the b/w version better, because most of the color thats in the Colored Version is the yellow center, so it looks kinda weird. (not to mention it also looks like my breakfast of sunnyside up eggs this morning) soo.. i think ure better with the black And white n_n

Yes, this really works great as B/W. Good judgement, don't have doubts on it 
And I agree with ~Venire 's comment about placing of focus 
The petals of these flowers seem somehow.. uhm.. the texture is a bit weird (which is good), they almost seem to have ash or dust (or "someone's tried to draw with a pencil on them, and then tried to wipe it away" as I first thought 
You should have good chances with this photo in a contest

Well, that's me; babbling myself away from the original sentences
"ash or dust ( ... ) spread all over in a thin layer" or somethingblabla

Hihi, hett tips, blir det for komplisert; ta det pΓ₯ norsk
Men jo, jeg tror nok dette bildet blir med i klubbkonkurransen. Litt for fint til bare en normal "mΓ₯nedens bilde"-sak...

Tror du, helt Γ¦rlig, at jeg ikke er istand til Γ₯ skrote ivei pΓ₯ mitt eget morsmΓ₯l ogsΓ₯?
Men, ja, det kan forenkle i noen tilfeller

Jeg synes det er lettere Γ₯ skrote pΓ₯ morsmΓ₯let egentlig

HΓ¦hΓ¦, du har et poeng. Og skrotingen "hΓΈres" mer meg ut nΓ₯r det foregΓ₯r pΓ₯ norsk

Hihi, det kan godt tenkes

This is very, very pretty! I like the B& W version alot better myself. I think it's contest worthy. I like how you break the 'foreground in front, background in back' idea that's used in nearly all conventional photography. Nice work

makes a good point about how the foreground is in the back. Very cool!

Hehe, it can really help to make your work stand out.
