I can't tell if it's the low resolution of the image or the diafine, or the format size, but I can't see any serious grain, very interesting

Usually the strong black-and-white tonal statements are made using large areas of subtle modulation to create the effect. Cloudless skies through red or orange filters. Out-of-focus things. Waves at the beach through a ten-stop ND filter for thirty minutes at dusk.

But this one does it by using large amounts of random crisp detail. That's really hard to do, I think. This has a very strong sense of presence.

What really helped were the roses had been sitting without water for a few days and had started to dry but hadn't turned brown, that seemed to bring out additional texture -

Just beautiful, and so well captured...they look sculptural...almost like plaster.
