I have a few in my garden flowering now but I didn't manage to make an acceptable picture of the white (and pink when in bud) clusters. I like yours even if I prefer colors for flowers

A fine placement of the stalk in the frame. The black and white quality is exceptional. Nice detail and contrast.

Great vantage point in this capture. The processing in BnW provides strong contrasts.
