Back Lit Iris Bud In Black And White

I back lit the iris bud this morning with the intention of converting it to black and white. I thought that the back lighting against the dark background would work well for a high contrast black and white image.

 

Lighting: The back lighting came from a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid, behind the bud at camera right. Fill lighting came from another Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera lefft. The strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used NIK software's Silver Efex Pro 2.0 to convert the image to black and white.

 

I'm a big fan of black and white photography, and other black and white pictures that I've taken are in my Black And White album.
