Beautiful... I think. Just a touch too dark to see.

Too dark - may just be my monitor. Great idea, though.

I like the composition. The slightly wrinkled background detracts a bit for me, and again for my tastes, maybe just a hint more light. Nicely done though.

IMO a bit too dark but I like the concept and the balance of the subject

Roses are a happy flower to me, bright Red and full of love, this photograph gives me a "dark" feeling, one of sadness.

Nice feel, but I think it could use some fill light to bring out the details.

The photo looks too dark.

I feel like this would have presented itself better using more negative space to one side, perhaps in landscape orientation.
