This was the original.
This came after Robert’s suggestion: desaturated on a black and white background.
Still black and white background but the rose’s colour as in the original.
And just for the fun of it – just putting the saturation controller on full.

Thanks. As I mentioned the selective colouring with taking the colour back overall was Robert’s idea. That started it.

I like Robert’s suggested edit the best, but I like them all, except perhaps the last one.

Thanks. Personally, I can’t make up my mind. I like the last one for its gaudiness.
