 This is the result of a "cheat" of sorts - used a filter from Virtual Photographer. I don't use those much, but I liked the results on this one. (It's the "reminiscing" filter, I think.) First did levels, and brightness/contrast adjustments. Applied the VP filter, duplicated the image, changed blending mode to multiply, then reduced that to about 75%.

I prefer the B&W version, and you did a good job on the conversion (doesn't matter how you did it!) The hint of color just seems to add another dimension to this.

Actually, I really like the B&W version - probably better than the colour! The tones in this are great.

Beautiful! I agree with all of the others that this is very well done.

This is really good, I normally do not go for this style of image, but the tonal range and spot on focus is great!

Looks like a lot of my own shots, so naturally I like it. I get the same results from curves and selective colors after converting to b/w.

I really like the tones, depth of field, and composition. Roses, for whatever reason, seem difficult to get good photos of. I don't know why that is since they are so beautiful. You have succeeded with this one...the water droplets add interest, and improve on an already very nice image.

Title included - a photographer's cliché blossom. A most difficult flora to photograph for a purpose in almost every respect. This is not too bad. ok ok I'll put in so you can slam mine.
I wonder if there has ever been a dpc rose challenge?

The tones in this are rich and luscious. I think that the amount of negative space definitely adds to the composition, giving the rose room to "breathe". I actually like this version much better than the color one.
