the way this photograph was presented seems to look like a scan from a magazine or something, the noise is too much.. in my experience the best grainy pictures work with high contrast B&W photos. it gives them that antique look that I personally love. your shadows are too dark and you seem to have shot with a low aperture and a very high shutter speed for this particular shot, but then agian this may have been done so in order to help with the grainy look. your ISO could have been risen a tad more for the camera to include its own natrual grain. I dont know what all you did editing wise but if you want me to teach you had to add noise (photoshop) let me know and i'll teach you a quick way to do it via pm/email.

the picture on its own is very nice, i love the angle but you might have needed to crop out that last piece of glass that is growing from the bottom.the reflection is also very nice.

Interesting picture. Seems the amount of grain here is almost distracting from the subject. like the way you use wood grain for the background.

One thing I want to recommend in terms of composition...it's how objects meet the photograph border...it can be really important in how the eye really connects with what's being shot. For example..the "stem" of this rose...is nice, but then there's a little something at the bottom. It's not enough to really matter to the photo, but it's prominent enough to notice. My suggestion would either be more aware of such things during the shot, or think about it a bit more when considering how you crop a photo. Just my two cents. Good luck with the challenge!
