FIRST IMPRESSION: Very emotive shot - the rose really captures my eye, and makes me want to examine the rest of the photograph closer.
CHALLENGE: I'll have to take your word for it, as I've never seen Citizen Kane. However, given what you said the shot is mimicing, I'd say it's met.
COMPOSITION: If you hadn't mentioned the color adjustment, I don't know if I would have noticed - the color of the rose bears a striking contrast to the monochromatic colors of the remainder. Having read your comment, I see that is what you were going for. I like the framing as well.
TECHNICAL: The upper portion of the photograph is a hair darker than I'd like to see it. I like the black itself, but the portion of the hardware in the shot up in that area gets lost due to the very close color.
CONCLUSION: Meets the challenge well, and holds my interest as a viewer. The composition and technical aspects of this shot make it quite intriguing - if this movie were colorized, I wonder if they'd do the same thing with the color of the rose.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges! |

| Thanks to all for taking the time to comment. All are very helpful and I am happy that you enjoyed the set up. I had fun with it and managed to find a rosebud at a neighbor's hidden in some tall grass. I know the movie was in black and white but the rosebud lacked "punch" as black. Thanks again. |
