The background behind the roses is distracting. Nice capture of detail on the yellow rose.

The rose is beautiful but the bg is distracting. My eye is drawn right to it. Also the oof foreground doesn't work to enhance the rose.
I DO like the diagonal composition.

very grainy photo. Try moving closer to the subject, the surroundings are distracting.

Can you see her?

Compostition/Content Great composition. I really like the way you arranged the manequins stacked up in the corner. Great use of props: hats, pillow and material. Really meets the challenge well.
Lighting Absolutely fantastic lighting. I would like to know how you set up the lighting. The shadows on all of the figures really define the shapes yet none of the shadows are too dark. I also like the light areas behind the hat on the left and behind the two heads on the right. The lighting made this shot.
Camera Work/Technical Good exposure and focus. Nice camera angle.
Post Processing It's difficult to tell what caused the grain in the image. I like the way the grain and the sepia give the image an old look. It is a strange looking grain when I zoom in on the image. I don't know what caused it. I tried highest compression and lowest quality and still couldn't get the grain in my image to look like yours, so I don't think it was the compression.
My Opinion I wouldn't want to see the image without any grain because it adds to the look of the image, but I would like to see what it would look like with maybe half the grain that it has now. Really great setup and execution. I ran your image through NeatImage and is really cleaned up the grain, you might try it.
