Comment by C-town driver:
Might have been better if the subject was more centrally framed since I'm not sure the darkness in the background really adds to the picture

some areas blown out or overexposed.(highlight edges of pink flowers)
Good idea though and good effort

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a great idea. The shot is just a tiny bit tilted, which definitely should have been corrected. Also, the top of the shot is a little softer than the rest. Perhaps you could have aimed your camera just a few degrees down, showing a little more into the horizon.

The rust definitely shows, and I love the leading lines. Overall, a nice shot.

Very nice, lighting is harsh (dark on one side and blown out on the other) and I like it that way... good job!

Comment by cghubbell:
Background rose is underexposed and blends too much with the background.

Comment by psweetkity:
good use of light, but mabye a little to hot on the side of the pink rose, should have bounced more on to the red rose.

Nice concept...lighting is a bit harsh on the white flower; contrast a bit too dark for great detail in the red. Would like to see this again with a bit better lighting. It has potential. :o)

I might have cropped this one a bit differently - but other than that - this is beautiful!
Love the way the light is strong on the live flower and dull on the dead one - this photo truly fits the category! Very good work! (9)

This would have been stronger if correctly centered. Good idea.
