My wife brought home a bouquet of pussy willows last spring. They are still in terrific shape on our kitchen table. I took this image with my FA 100/2.8 macro, the current lens on the camera, with the objective of a FaceBook Black and White Challenge, where it looks pretty good, and I think it looks even better with the pale blue of our wall behind it. For kicks, the K-3 is in green mode: ISO 3200, 1/160@f/4.5. White balance in LR: shade. Cropped to 3105x4670 (about 77%).

I like the composition! I think as a BW shot it would work well with a little more contrast.

Looks very nice. My mother had pussy willows in her kitchen, but I never looked nearly that closely at them
