Seems like this is a fairly literal representation to me, but it does fit the challenge.

Nice, but off topic. Every photograph has some perspective.

Greetings from the Critique Club.
It's such a stark, mimimalistic image that there's not much material for a critique! Especially as the commentators during voting seem to have covered everything anyway. The composition is interesting and seems to me particularly appropriate for the wilted-looking flower (it's a Black Eyed Susan, I suppose). It may not have been your intention, but the effect created is of a battered but determined flower struggling to fight its way into the frame! I normally have a (perhaps irrational) dislike of flower photographs; they offer the intellectual and emotional challenge of a TV test pattern, as far as I'm concerned. But you have found a way to inject your flower image with personality and pathos, and I applaud you for that. I've seen your portfolio, and I know that you are a masterful flower photographer. But I've also seen your non-flower images, many of which are intensely emotional and artistically adventurous, so I'm not surprised that you've found a way to make a flower appealing even to a philistine like me.
Cheers,
Paul Martin

Nice job, I like how the person is in the rule of thirds. I like the choice of black and white. Nice job.

Great symmetry. The woman adds a nice surprize and grounds the shot. I like the soft sepia filter. 7

Looks a bit out of focus to me, but I like your composition and the lighting.
