I hope I have done this correct
Cropped the Rose from a larger image and changed to B/W in Adobe then tinted the colour in use hue and desaturated until I got the desired effect
Slightly sharpened and downsized for site
I used the basic colour of the Rose

This is excellent! Everything's in sharp focus (except for just a tiny bit on top), the colors are great, the rose is perfect. It's fit's the challenge nicely. There's not a lot of contrast, but it's not needed - the softness is very nice.
The Composition is good, but I think it would be a bit better if the center of the flower was right dead on an intersection of thirds. In my opinion, here at dpc, it's hard to predict how a flower shot is going to do. Sometimes people just like 'em, other times - not so much.
I really like the way the lighter purple tones in this emphasize the soft look of the petals and the darker tones emphasize the veins and depth of the flower.
