Shasta daisy, I think. But I'm no expert either. I really love this.

I thought I posted on this the other day. I know I said flowers don't always lend themselves to b/w but in this case you did an excellent conversion with great detail and sharpness throughout.
I don't think its a shasta daisy with the color bleeding into the petals like that.
What color is it?

I think it can. I believe I've read somewhere long ago that: "Photography is about light, shape, and form." And: "Color is for painting; black and white is for photography." After all, photography started in black and white
Very nice, I do think this is a "Black eyed susan" as Cara described. They are yellow with black centers.
I like the detail and tight crop here. The subject is also isolated well from any distractions. Very nice!

I really like the detail in this picture, shows the Fibonacci series beautifully.
Excellent work.
