Mono Flowers processing

[@imagesBV]

I have processed these in Lightroom...I'd welcome ideas for processing techniques or opinions on these images please...

Perhaps not what your looking for , and I am by no means anyone to judge , but think a touch more contrast would help by making the blacks blacker , I would also like to see the colour left in the flowers with the rest remainin in Black and White .

I think they all look very good, but to be honest, if the flowers have colour on them I personally would not put them in B&W.

No colour in these....they are mono as intended.....Lepus' idea of leaving some colour in the flowers is a different idea which I will try ....i've not used spot colour before but might be good against the black backgrounds as here.

I'd not thought about mono flowers before but was inspired by Chris Packham's images in the RPS Journal......loads better than these!
