    Oh - I prefer some colour on these loveley roses! So far you've presented them in a fine way. But I would choose a much smaller frame and I would give the left blossom a tit bit more space. Hope that helps?

    I really loved the black and white one, the left flower seems a bit greenish pink to it and its weird, and the background has a blue tinge to it, tho its just me

    Nice shot! - I'm with JL here, BW all the way.
    The green leaves compete too hard with the actual flower heads and the blue window is a slight distraction for me.
    If this were mine I'd try to up the contrast on the flower heads and sharpen their centers just a wee bit more.

    Ditto, monochrome works wonders in this shot.

    Personally I like colour version best. For me, for a flower shot to special in B&W it needs some very good lighting and textures going for it. Perhaps shape too. Without that, a flower is all about colour for me.
