Sandy -- I like this. Your treatment really does separate this from the others.
Very interesting processing -- almost looks like an X-ray.

A most original and verging on surreal presentation of your daffodil, Sandy: I would never have thought of this approach and even if I had would not have had the know how about achieving it.
So full marks to you for both originality, creativity and processing skills.
Ronnie.

A bold and daring idea that has worked very nicely---

Not my idea of spring but very elegant just the same!

Very imaginative shot Sandy but I have to say,for me, a daffodil has got to be that glorious blast of yellow. Its what we all wait for after the long dark days of winter and I for one cant wait to see. Grin Grin

I love the remoteness of b&w flowers, this ticks mental boxes for me.

I always think anyone doing flowers in black and white is very brave but you have brought out some lovely texture Sandy.

'Daffy' sooo works here, Sandy. Extraordinarily good balance of highlight and shadow.

That's lovely, Sandy! I agree with what Danny says. It's unusual and works very well.

It's unusual to see such a colourful flower in mono, but the delicate way you've handled both the original capture and the post-processing make this work. Beautifully done.
