The selective coloring works beautifully on this photo and you have done it very well. Composition is excellent. Good storytelling. Focus and clarity are well handled. The lighting is very nice creating mood except on her face. This would be stronger if you either did some dodge work on her face, or added some light to it.

If I hadn't read the notes I would have thought this was a devilish woman of some form. In actual context, I think this photo's contrast is excellent which helps give you the mood and feeling of sadness. Well done.

You caught a nice story telling moment here. The conversion to B&W looks good and the selective color was well executed. A good image, well done and good luck in the competition.

Very touching image and like the black and white where the red rose becomes the focal point. Good job catching the light on the top of her white hair covering. Bright clear image and well centered. Good Job

This is a great shot of the girl sniffing the rose. B&W suits this image. The red rose is what makes this image for me. Well done. Good luck in the contest. Sam

Very strong work with a hear warming appeal. The red rose gives excellent contrast and the facial expression tells a story. The light shining on her hand has a spiritual quality. Well done

I like the selective color as well. Neat shot. I really like when the photographer gives details of the photo. (where, why, etc...) Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
