Thank you, I am glad you like it. I wish that I had just been a little neater around some of the petals' edges, but oh well.

I took the picture, then in a photo-editing program I selected only the petals and rose buds, copied it to the clipboard, de-selected the roses so the entire picture was then selected, lowered the saturation to 0 so it went black and white, darkened it a little bit, pasted the rosebuds and petals back onto the picture so it is the only thing that still remains in color, matched the roses I just pasted onto the picture (overtop the black and white ones), then turned the contrast and saturation up a tiny bit on just the petals to make them stand out more.

It sounds more complicated than it really is.

Hmm, now that I look at this, yes, I agree. It does convey the idea more clearly in this picture. Thank you for commenting

I like think this one focuses more on the point you were makeing with the roses. I like the richness of the red in front of the overexposed background. Nice work.
