This is what's called real life in a photo. Your photo has only one definition for me: Perfect. and I woudn't make any suggestions. It just is how it is.

This is a photographic side I've never seen from you and I like it! The choice to go with black and white is a wise one (just because baby skintones seem to be so overtly pink), as is the soft contrast - what kind of lighting did you use?
Okay, about the thingie . . . well, that's just it. I had no idea it was a rose until you pointed it out. Because the object is kind of shapeless and because it occupies a lot of foreground, it really distracts. I suppose it lacks motivation, but at the same time, if it was something definitive, like a teddy bear, I could see that being alright.
That said, you did a really great job of colouring the object (and a doubly good job with the red & green edit). At first, I thought this was a colour photo converted to black and white, and then partially restored. Fool me once!

Aww, what a sweet expression you captured, Kim - pure innocence! I love the softness in this, both from the gentle tones and from the short DOF (well, it says f/5.6, but the focus does seems to drop off pretty quickly - whatever brought that about, it works wonderfully!)
I prefer the B&W version - I think the color detracts too much from the softness and the low contrast that I find so appealing in this shot.
How about B&W with the rose lightened a little to come closer to the other tones?

And the last option.... (I just figured out how to colour different parts of the image on a B&W ... at least this exercise has taught me something!!!)
Made to look more like a rose, as per Ryan's suggestion... more suggestions are welcomed!

Your Niece is a very beautiful baby Kim, I love the way you have isolated the color, which gives the object warmth and texture against the soft B/W of the babies image. Alison

Sweet shot - sleeping babies make great subjects! I prefer the b/w - the colorized version takes away attention from the baby IMHO. Nice soft tones on the baby.

Or here it is without the rose coloured in... just plain B&W.
I was just playing around in PS, trying to add colour to B&W images, but then a friend said that she liked the B&W better than the splash of colour... I'd like to know what everyone thinks...

good baby image. I love this technique. I wish that the object was i bit more recognizable, perhaps just in a different location but i know im just gripping here. Good job.
