Really the only work I did with this was to brighten the actual bulb and darken the bacgroud to bring out contrast. Other then that this is as it looked in the lens of my camera.

I like the idea of this image very much, but the flower needed to be a bit sharper. It seems to be a bit out of focus. Also, I suspect you may have used a bit of poster edges (the blue-green area on the right suggests this), and to my eye at least, it hasn't really enhanced the image.

the image feels a little grainy, but good contrast of the background and dying/dead rose.

Nice but sad capture here.....

Interesting backdrop for this shot. I like that you chose a color that would help the bloom stick out. My main concern with this photo is that the focus does not seem to be on the bloom. The blossom itself looks too soft....perhaps detail was lost in post processing?

Since the rose is the subject, I would like it if it was more in focus.

Slightly deeper DOF, The front of the rose seems out of focus IMO
