Nice one.
One thing that caught my eye is the shadow of the tree. I love the way it spreads all over the foreground.

The tree's head is cut! :( Great photo and great colors, but the framing is too tight...

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

You have some very nice detail on the rose - most specifically I can see great texture on the petals. This is a good shot but there are a few things that can boast it into the high above average shot. First off it is just a touch too dark. Most likely you want the backdrop to stay a solid black so the white rose can really pop off the black. The white/cream rose needs just a punch more of vibrant contrast/brightness in the tones. You could either put a 'spotlight' on just the white rose and/or move the black backdrop further away from subject so the light doesn't fall on it to illuminate it.I also think the composition would be even stronger if you zoomed in closer to have your subject fill the frame bringing your audience closer to view all the lovely details. As it is now I think that there is a little too much negative space at the top of the composition.

I'm going to guess that this is your grandpa's old pocket watch.

The more i stare, the more I see. For example, I see four faint butterflies in the dark area between the shafts of space dust.

I love the colors and wild, featherlike extensions.
