How did you desaturated this?

Nice (although I'm not sure about the droplet). This is just how I do it before I go out on Saturday night!

I was not saying you broke any rules or anything with the droplet. I think it's a nice shot - I just kind of have a thing about water droplets, but at least it's not on a rose petal!

Tht's very lovely..

just a question, can you explain, to me, how you got the rest of the picture in black and white?

Thanks author for the information and as more I am seeing this image I'm getting in love with it.. specially what the sign reads.. But, there is always a but , selecting editing is not allowed in the photography contests.. You can read the rules and guidelines here on http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photography/ I guess the mods will shed more light and help you out with it.

Sorry about the edited version, my fault for not reading the rules. Wish I could get my views back

I wouldnt worry about the views as they have no impact on the final score. Thank you for correcting the edit.

this looks so good.. I wonder why you went with the first version.. welcome back.

great find, good DOF

Nice, but maybe a little closer crop
