I used a Tamron 70-210mm 4.5-5.6. with stacked close up filters to get the soft effect. All I did in cs2 was grayscale
duo-tone
levels
curves
put on a border save for web

ever such a pretty image, and the combinations of lines, dark and light all works very nicely together. the colours feel nice. personally, i'm not sure that a soft (or slightly out of) focus does the rose justice here; i just suspect that it isn't really enhanced with this techinique, and as a consequence, one wonders if it truly meets the challenge. just thinking out loud really. it's not that i don't like it though, i really do; the centred composition is spot on, and the frame nicely restrained and simple, but does enhance the blues against the DPC grey background. 7.
