color not coming through

[AF44]

ok so i have a pic of this rose. im not even to proud of the shot, just curious. when i have the picture in color it washes out and just kinda looks like a red blob

but when i turn it to black and white all the definition comes out

the definition came out a little more when i uploaded it onto photobucket, i have no idea why. it is still not where i like it though. i tried messing with the settings a little but it didnt clear up

if you have any suggestions help me out, and if you want to edit it you can

thanks

Your picture is overexposed, and that's why you've lost detail in the reds.
