Textured Rose in Black & White

Last Sunday, Steve and I had dinner at a friend's home, and I couldn't resist taking some pictures as we left, though the light was horrible. This picture was a tiny bit blurry but I thought that if I worked on it, I could get a nice result out of it. Using a texture was the answer and I was so happy that I could save this picture because this cluster of roses is so interesting and pretty. After I finished this version, I thought, "Hmm...I wonder what it would look like if I tried this on the color version?" I was really surprised how much I like the color version, because I expected this black and white version to be the easy winner. What do you think? Either or?
