A very nice black and white. Highlights look a tad blown out though. You could have entered this one into either the perspective or progess challenges :)

Wow! Such a stunning sky. It would perhaps be nice to see more of the foreground detail. Maybe give the Shadow/highlight tool a whirl in photoshop? :)

Well done on the Football result - Portugal 2 - Iran 0

You have some great photographs in your portfolio, choosing one was very difficult to do.

Technically the photograph appears to me to be very good, although I must say that I'm no expert when it comes to studio lighting and such. It has a very clean and fresh feel to it, like something that you might see in a glossy cuisine magazine or holiday brochere. Professional is the term I think I'm looking for :)

The composition of the image works really well and is very pleasing to the eye. The use of the rose and the general setup makes the photograph very elegent. The crop job appears to be good also. I'm not one of those who feels EVERYTHING has to be cropped perfectly within the frame. I didn't vote for this challenge, but it would easily have gotten a 7 or 8 from me.

Overall, you've taken an excellent photograph, Good job :)
