Abstract: Let $ B$ denote the Beurling-Ahlfors transform defined on $ L^p(\mathbb{C})$, $ 1<p<\infty$. The celebrated conjecture of T. Iwaniec states that its $ L^p$ norm $ \Vert B\Vert _p=p^*-1$ where $ p^*= \max\{p,\frac{p}{p-1}\}$. In this paper the new upper estimate

$\displaystyle \Vert B\Vert _p\leq 1.575\,(p^*-1), \hspace{3mm} 1<p<\infty,$

is found.
