Good set up, but needed more light on the rose to get it to work right IMHO.
That's an old looking box. This is a good group of items for an image. A pillow or something to get the box up to the level of the rose would have made a more compact looking arrangement.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well muppet, no mistaking this one is for the Love Challenge !
Technically this is not a bad shot...the colours are nice and it is fairly in focus.
I think what you need to focus on now is seeing something with a more artistic eye, and that is the hard part! This site is a great place to learn...look at what the winners do, figure out what you like.
This shot suffered because it is simply a pair of objects placed together and shot against a wall with a table lamp. Its not a bad thing, but you can do better! Look at the roses on this site...if you are going to shoot a rose, it has to be special...technically outstanding, wonderfully dramatic...it has to say something. Do you know what I mean?
Place your object in an unusual location, or light it in an unexpected way....go in close and take a dramatic macro, or far away and see how it looks against its surroundings.
You have to do better then simply fitting the challenge. Having an artistic eye is not easy, but take some time, experiment alot, and shot even more..comment on pictures that will help...
Mostly Good Luck and Keep SHooting!

simple angle, but it works nicely. Perhaps some barb wire on the handle for more of a challenge. lol.
