This is nice, but, personally I would have removed the debris (sticks and stuff) from the foreground as it very much distracts from the model...

Blue? What blue?

It seems to me that you did a good job .. !
Only a small spot remained on the left of the snowflake in the middle

great idea and beautifully executed.

Thank you.

Awesome! Looks familiar

Thank you, but I'm not sure why it'd be familiar. I've never used this shot for anything

Nice

this is one classic piece of work here !! Awesome indeed !! HIGH SCORE!! was the whole rose blue, then just part of it exposed after desaturation?

Thank you for your comment. No, the rose was a light pinkish color, and I painted it with blue nailpolish, and then desaturated everything but blue.

very interesting

I had an image similar a while back for a painting contest. I'm not saying you saw it, just stuck out to me because it was similar to what I did. I still think its a beautiful image and great idea. You know what they say great minds think alike

I apologize for any similarity. Your mind may be great, but mine doesn't always fire on all cylinders.

A lovely creative entry

I agree on everything that has already been said.. great shot

Congrats I really love this

Its Light Stencil, Isn't it???

Hiccup, as far as I know that's not a light stencil, I haven't tried it yet..you can find a lot of tutorials how to make a different shapes of bokeh.. I tried this one http://www.diyphotography.net/diy_create_your_own_bokeh
