I like the conversion, but I think I'd like to see it cropped closer to the rose so all the white isn't overpowering.

The conversion on the rose is stunning, but the background is a bit too distracting.

I thinkk the rose looks great, velvety, but he white is all blown out.

I definatly like the crop better, but if you could cut the Rose out and stick it on a plain color background, or adjust the levels in the background its on, I think It would do it much more justice!

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated. Here is a quick version of what it would look like on a black background:

Much better with the black background. It looks so soft and velvety.

Agreed!

It doesn't really even look like a photo, it looks like some type of crazy cool abstract art. But I LOVE IT!
