I looked at it, and tried to quickly pick out what aspects of the picture I liked the most. For me, it was that cool blue background (cool as in temperature, not hipness.) Something about the shade of blue back there tugged at me. So I went after that. Blue slider on the colors raised up to 200%, other two left alone.
Tone mapping was added, highlights are compressed down a little to keep the left rose from blowing out, lightness is up, and of course I cropped it. On that...
Here's the exact crop. Notice what I did with thirds. I also left the same amount of space from the left rose to the border as the right one. Or, tried to. I cut it close, maybe too close. Either way, they fit into the space a little better for me this way, and I have the blue really standing out as the silent partner in the shot.
