Nice composition. The only small thing I comment is the "unnatural" position of the hand.. It seems there to show the nail's colors instead to caress the roses

This technically is a very good photo. I love the touch of using dried out roses and the fact that you let the model be natural except for the red lips and red finger nail polish. The composition and lighting is very good. I hope this does well. You should be very proud of your photo. You didn't use the typical pretty girl and you didn't use the typical flower.

Love the dark water and the subtle reflection in it. I noticed that the reflection showed up better on a flat panel monitor. On a CRT the water looks dark. The yellow ducks stand out nicely and the arrangement is very good. There are no harsh shadows on the ducks or glare on the water. It̢۪s a lovely photo with good focus and soft lighting.

Would prefer this if the water wasn't so dark and the angle was a little lower.
