This is outstanding. Rhythm is present is every aspect... color, composition, lighting... all adds up to a 10. Very nicely done.

Preserved but Forgotten

I like the background lighting here very much. The way it grades in from the top left of the image is very nice.

The subject is also well lit, and the composition work well enough, though I can't say I find the roses very visually appealing. They appear far to dusty for my tastes, and as a rule I don't care much for dried flowers. But thats just me.

Due to the age of your subject your colors are understandably subdued, as flowers tend to fade over time. Still the black backround makes for a nice contrast and presents them well. Do I find them cliche? Perhaps a little, but not to the extent that would carry well in this challenge.

If I had voted this challenge, and I didn't, I feel I would have scored your photo with a 5. Technically well done, but challenge requirements fall a bit short.

Nice image. It does appear just a bit cramped at the bottom, but other than that the composition works well. Also, on the one hand I wonder what it might have been like with both subjects having bare feet (an no jeans), but on the other I like the contrasts provided here.
