I saw a rose in the trashcan, and decided to turn it into something beautiful again.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Focus is good, depth of field is just a bit shallow. The rose and fingers go a little soft. Color, saturation, and hue are good. Skin tones are bordering on too bright for another challenge, but work well with this one.

Reaction: Wow, what a picture. You did almost too good a job here. The model's eyes steal the show. As is, it took until I read your comments to even notice the rose has deteriorated. So you did achieve your goal of making it pretty again. I would recommend a tighter crop.

Perhaps just the above the eyes, and below the hands. If the rose were moved up a tiny and the hands down a little, you could even eliminate the hands.

This has the bones of a really fine picture. I'd really like to see you work with it, and see what it could become. Though I guess wou would need to find a new rose by now.

Very nice work...

A little creepy....but cool. I think those eyes get me the most.

here I rate with 5 but I think that if you convert in black and white with channel mixer (108,88,2,-120) monochrome and in color correction -7 the black in the white channel. after this you need a very small crop on the left for a small distracting white light and I rate it 8.(you lost some details in the rose but it isn't many evident even in this version).
