The third shot, the bluish one, is my favorite, but I think the composition is too centered. Also, the use of a white vignette on a dark background is considered visually gauche. It's a common filter effect, but it does not belong on dark-background shots."Light advances, dark recedes" is an actual artistic design concept...drawing attention to the corners by lightening them pulls attention from the center of the photo, and is counter- productive. In today's photographic world, with instant vignette options in everything from iPhoto to Lightroom, improperly using this type of canned effect screams out "novice". The white vignette on dark background just looks like you randomly slapped a filter on an image of a rose. The effect **itself**, the improper vignetting, rises to the forefront, leaving the rose composition weakened badly.
 
Im loving that first one, great shot!
