Greetings from the Critique Club!
What a great image you have here. The focus is dead on, the textures on the flowers are great and it tells a story. Technically this is a spot on image which is why it scored in the midrange at the very least. The lighting of the flower itself really does make it stand out as the real focal point of the shot and it works in balance with the vase.
As a couple of people have commented, I would have really liked this in a rectangular format in which the top of the flower where the part was actually broken was in the scene. This would not only have backed up the strong meaning behind the image, but compositionally, would have made it far superior to your entry for there would be a leading line throughout the flower stem that would bring you from one side of the fame to the other; a beginning and end to a story.
Overall I like it, gave it a seven... Good luck in the future!

This image is just lovely with coloration so rich and tender. Bumping up. |

| Nice composition, I like that he broken stem is not in the photo, it ads some intrigue. Since it's an advanced editing, I would have removed the vertical line on the right and the circles right under the rose. |

| I like how the 'brokenness' is implied, and not shown here. Updating to 7 after going through most images. |

| Nice, fairly unique idea. Perhaps the rose could use a little more light to make it stand out from the background more... I like the way that the break isn't visible, but is implied. |

| It'd be more effective if we could see the break in the stem. |

| Very nice... Makes you wish you could see the breakpoint. Very nice soft lighting. I like the backdrop, works very well with the subject. I just wish I could see the breakpoint. An another little detail, since it looks so perfect from this angle (no discoloration, dryness, rips, etc.)... The leaf! I wish I could see it tilted a bit to see more shape. Besides those two things, I think it's perfect. For me, to pay so much attention to the details of your picture, means it really striked me |
