Daisies in Black and White

Came across these yellow flowers daisies with black centers. Wanted to see what they looked like in B&W. They look pretty neat.

I could see dropping the ezxposure one stop to eliminate detail under the heads of the daisies. That's probably what I might have seen from the same subject. Very nice, though.
 
So many photographers always fuss and whin over "perfect shadow detail" and blah blah blah, but personally.... I feel this is a perfect image where you could push the shadows to a pure black. By doing this, it would leave these glowing white shapes that float around in this black space, and this would create more of a visually interesting photograph than just another cliche pretty picture of flowers.

Give it a try and see what you think.

All the best,
