I think this is an excellent 'abstract' image. I'm not sure how this photo was intended to fit the title, so I don't know how well the image represents that.
I think the pink background in this image may be slightly overpowering.This makes the rose appear black and kills most of the details. I think another improvement on this shot would be different lighting. I say this for the same reason as before. I just can't tell if intended for the rose to be black. The two dark shadows on the bottom right, and top left edge of the frame is somewhat distracting. It looks almost as if this is actualy the lense of the camera causing a ring. However I asume this is just a lighting problem. So this could have been fixed by tighter cropping or slightly different lighting.
my overall perspective of this image, IMO, needs something more. It has too much blank space, and not enough detail. I have had good luck in situations like this one using darker backrounds and use my soft lighting to illuminated the subject a little more.
I can see the direction you were going for with this shot. I feel it was a great idea and would have been a great photo if it had worked the way you had planed.
I hope that the lack of commnents and score you received by posting this image here were not hurtful. You have to take these responses with a grain of salt and keep on plugging :)
