This is great. True, it probably doesn't make much sense without the title but with it, it's just hilarious.

As a stand alone photo, probably not so great... but a very creative interpretation for this particular challenge. Nicely done. Were there actually roses there? :)

I just love the way you have cropped this photograph.

Not getting the cliche from the picture.

Where is her face? And where is the rose?

Well this is a bit of a stretch to fit in the challenge. We don't see any roses or any flowers for that matter. The person could be vomiting or asleep!

Nice use of DOF, but I'd really like to see the roses that the subject is smelling. Leaves me wondering just what color they are.

Nice shot

Sorry, but IMHO this photo just doesn't work and here's why: There are not roses (or noses for that matter) in the shot. This person could be throwing up for all we know. Also, there is far too much negative spaces at the top of the image that doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

Can't decide if i want to see the rose or not. . .

I love this. Very original, creative and great execution. Your border also works wonderfully. Hope it does well!

I don't think the crop works here..

Well, this represents the stop part, but it would have been nice to see the roses she is smelling. It looks sort of cut off the way it is.

HAHAHA i like this. 10 just for originality here. could be lighter and color balance is a bit too blue to me but that may be my screen or your lighting. who cares its bloody original and it got my vote!

Well I gotta give you credit for being different!

I would expect to see roses in a photo with this title.

Very brave composition - hope it does well.

Technically excellent photo. I do understand the crop, but I'm curious as to why you chose not to show the face and flower in the composition. Just curious, that's in no way a critique.

Nice focus and clarity. I see where you were going with the crop, but I think not seeing her face makes the picture feel kind of awkward.

wonderful! I love the smack-you-in-the-head subtlety of this.
