Beautiful work, they are both very good but, I love the color one the most.

I side with Fred, the second is the best. Both are nice though.

I think that the BW one needs alittle more contrast, but the color one works really well.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments/compliments, everyone.

I took note of the suggestion to increase the contrast on the black and white photograph. I'll play around with it and see what happens.

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, so I had some free time. I played with the curves on the black and white photo, and here is what I came up with. The flower pops a little more, but I didn't want to change it so much that I lost the detail of the petals. Without turning this into a critique thread, is it overdone?
