Comment from S.S. Photography
That is a very cool photo! The effects you used gave emotion to the flower. Again, having only the flowers head in focus gives it a very nice look.

Amazing shot. Really like what you have done here. Perfect marriage of black, white and the blush color on the rose bud.
Nicely done

Good idea and presentation. Everything look great except my eye tend to focus on the leaf not the rose. Very nice conversion.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love the B&W with the hint of color. I don't usually like the matte vignette but it is great in this picture. Your exposure is a 5 for sure. Creativity is a 5! DoF is great. You did a great job.

The sharpness and the details are amazing, the tinting, and the vignette..that takes this to a differnt place..this is art..and I am out of high ratings..but this certainly deserves more than my five! Donkeyoatey

I like how this one came out more true to realism. The matt and vignette do add truly to this one
Nice Job. Thanks Lou
