New Photo

Fresh Picked piture from this morning. I was walking back to my office from a photo shoot and came across this flower. I wanted to practice some macro anyway. I love muted colors.

Here is the original shot. Which is better, in your opinion?

I like the first one. Unusual presentation of a common subject.

I agree with Hichuz. What I guess I like most is the treatment you gave it. I'm not a fan of colorized B&W's, they have to be something special to get my attention. Here, it looks like a B&W flower with a sepia background. Not so in your face as a colorized B&W, but it does make the flower stand out. This effect may also be my monitor because it's so subtle, but I like it all the same (or is this usual for duotone?).

Learn me:D,

I also really liked your sunset pic in the other forum:thumb.

I really didn't do much to the photo other than create the duotone and adjust the level. I guess because the background was relatively dark and the flower was light, the contrast made the difference possible. I like the fact that the flower is more BnW than Sepia.
