Any chance of a bit more info as to what you did with that in PP?

By using that filter, were you going for the look where the rose would be in colour against a black and white background like this one done in PP, or is yours just how it came straight from the camera?

yea that is the sort of effect i was going for but as i havent got decent photo editing software this is the best i could get it

LR 4 is around £60 at the moment. Adobe have moved their software over to the Cloud so good time to upgrade from the freebies. GIMP can be useful and has a little bit more power although can be clunky...sure the PP section on here can steer you right.
