Nice coloring. The border seems distracting. I think it should have been left at just black.

Some of the background isn't fully greyscalled as mentioned in the challenge. And those parts not exaclty highlight either.

Nice job! I like that the background is just ever so slightly out of focus and that the bud are still quite clear. Good job in retaining the flower's colour. The water droplets really add interest to this shot. I'm not sure if I like that border or not, but not scoring you down for it.

Very bright. The color really makes your subject stand out of the background. Nothing distracting there. Focus and clarity are good, and the little water droplets really add some interest to the shot for sure. I like how the flower is 'facing' the left, and your border looks alright to me. It's not strong enough to distract from the subject, it's subtle. I like it! ~Heather~

Very well done de-sat and flower macro. Purely my taste -- I would like to see a little more pop in the color and probably no frame.
