Dwarf Yellow Calla In The Light-Black &White

This is one of the individual flowers that were on the plant I brought home yesterday. I converted the color version of this image to black and white using Nik software's Silver Efex Pro 2. You can see the color version down below in the comments.

 

Lighting stuff: I wanted dramatic, rather than even lighting, so I used my lights accordingly. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right, and I used a YN560-III hand held in a Rogue grid to light up the "bit" (a technical botanical term) growing from the center of the plant. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other Calla Lily pictures are in my Calla Lilly set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626082181550/...

 

Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.
