this is very interesting, the second I saw it you had my attention. I don't know if b&w was the best choice, I find myself wondering what this would look like in color.

Absolutely amazing macro shot. The depth of it is just wow
Excellent lighting on it as well, and the focus is sharp and vivid. Excellent choice to put it in B&W, you may also want to try it in sepia just to see how it works out. Excellent shot overall, good job.

thanks for commenting, i'm glad you like it

i also tried sepia, cause i'm a big fan of sepia normally. but in this case here i liked "normal" black/white better

Very nice close up! and the tone fits!
