Interesting try to make something different. Unfortunately the rose is out of focus and has some overexposed parts.

Some petals at the top is over exposed, otherwise it's a good take.

I would love to know where the smoke is coming from. Nice job, although the lighting seems a bit dark, it is perfect for a dark artists smoke filled room. Good spotlighting.

Very interesting to look at - the colors really pop. I love the overblown highlights on the rose. Good job.

FIRST IMPRESSION: This shot is a bit bland in my opinion. It's mostly grey and lacks the contrast necessary to draw out your main subject. Also, this image lacks anything to hold the viewer's interest.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: It might have been nice to see evidence of a bus stop along with the sign... people waiting, a bus shelter, etc.

TECHNICAL: There is not enough contrast in this image to draw out your subject. If there is more light at this location at a different time of day (yes I know you're in Iceland, so there might not be), it may have benefitted you to shoot then. Otherwise, a conversion to b/w and pumping up the contrast might have benefitted you. I feel the b/w might help since your background is colurful and competes with the main subject.

CONCLUSION: This is a subject with potential, but overall not one of the most exciting shots this week. Overall, the shots that score best are the ones that seem to have a purpose above and beyond the challenge itself.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
