Thanks Tish, it is actually a Camellia, but I agree it looks good in mono. I actually have a coupe of others versions of mono of it too, sepia and greytone.
Thanks, yes I did. All the photos on my blog have been taken by me (except for one or two stock photos very early in my blog, which have attributions against them). Glad you liked it.
