I have to wonder how this would look with the classic 'desaturate everything but yellow' trick. I might look neat, but then again, it might just look cliche. Something worth playing with anyway.
I think that the candles add a little clutter that I feel the photo would benefit without. Not sure if crop would have helped, or maybe a different placement of the flower, but I don't feel that the flowers are adding positively to the photo.
Focus and clarity are great. Nice crispness in the flower, and the wall. I feel that the DOF works as well.
Lighting is also good. No distracting hot spots or shadows.
My eyes are drawn down the stem of the flower to the bright red of the little flag. This is where a desaturation technique might have been beneficial, as I feel the bright red placed at the bottom of the stem draws the attention away from the 'subject' to a lesser interesting part of the photo. As well, a different crop could also eliminate that.
Overall, I think that it's a very nice image with the only issues I can find to improve upon are the 'background clutter'/distracting elements.
Very nice shot. I feel it works it's way into the challenge too.

| this is a stretch for photojournalism...more like a photo illustration, I think it would be more effective if it were only the yellow rose on the black wall. |
