		Certainly unique.
 Tones are cool, but there is something a bit unsettling about the focus/dof on this. |

		| I adore textures, but something about this makes me uneasy. Maybe the difference in the focus? |

		| I like it. I can almost reach out and feel its crispness. |

		| Very interesting! I love the contrast between the two roses. My eye is definitely drawn to the left. |

		| oh I love dried roses ... having a hard time deciding which I like the most ... I'm a big sepia fan, but my eye is drawn to the left ... really nice abstract composition! |

		| I like your concept and presentation and I understand it.  But my eye is drawn to the right.  Partially because I like sepia tones but partially by the out of focus-ness of it. |

		| maybe it's out of focus cause it's dying/dead to contrast the living rose=my own interpretation ! LOL |

		| Dried, yin/yang composition, has it all - a tuned balance of sharp/dof; purple/brown; upward/downward; left/right; half&half with your coffee. fine edit... |

		| My eyes are drawn to the left, but I prefer the sepia tones of the rose on the right. |

		| I like the purple rose...but the out of focus one on the right is taking away from the overall pic to me. |

		| I like the half and half composition, the different directions in which they're pointing, and the colour scheme.  I am not so sure about the purplish dead rose looking so much more in focus than the brownish one.  Somehow, to my mind, in a picture like this one they should be equally in focus ???  Just an idea. |

		| A beautiful study in contrasts, both the photographic and allegorical kinds.  I love the depth of field, and opposing buds, the rift, the unique take on floral imagery.  Nicely done. |

		| Dried roses? Very abstract point of view with an appealling symmetry. I am not sure I like the lack of focus on the flower on the right. |

		| Wow, definitely gives me the chills. Death, dying, decay... Nice work though. |

		I like the symmetry of this shot, rotated rather than straight line.
 (can't remember the terms from geometry but hope i get the meaning across.)
 The focus is a little troubling to me. It feels like I'm not finding the sweet spot on my bifocals. |

		Having just gone through a funeral, this gives me chills.  Reminds me of forgotten loves.  
 
 I like that the focus keeps drawing me over to the left flower, and the shallow DOF.  Very nice Bear, as always. |
